- From the atelier populaire to artivism. Situationist strategies reimaginedPublication . Cavalcanti, Maria Cristina; Tavares, Mirian; Arantes, Priscila Almeida CunhaThe following paper examines the progression of artivism by tracing the visual strategies employed by the Atelier Populaire during the May’ 68 protests, tactics influenced by the Situationist International, and investigates their relationship to contemporary artivist practices, particularly in the field of digital media art. The article focuses on the legacy of these strategies and explores the trajectories of Richard Hambleton, Blek le Rat and Banksy, emphasizing their contributions to social and political discourse through art. It highlights the prioritization of message over aesthetics, the democratization of public space, unsigned drawings, stencils, and other low-cost techniques, direct as well as symbolic imagery. The study concludes by examining the current relevance of artivism across various platforms, including digital media, and investigates how these new mediums reshape and amplify the scope and modalities of artivism in the contemporary context.
- Memory, montage, and counter-narratives: a digital media installationPublication . Cavalcanti, Maria CristinaThis work presents the multimedia installation [Des]montagem, which articulates memory, history, and aesthetics through the appropriation and recontextualisation of archival materials related to repression during the Brazilian civil-military dictatorship (1964–1985). Rooted in concepts of memory and montage, the installation challenges the unequal formation of memory and the influence of dominant narratives in official history, while aiming to validate silenced voices. Drawing from the works of Walter Benjamin and Aby Warburg, [Des]montagem utilizes visual, auditory, and interactive components to establish a realm for confronting and contemplating the past and the present. The installation also includes a virtual version that broadens public access, enabling new forms of engagement. The project highlights the potential of digital art to politicise memory and foster critical thinking, showing that we are active agents in the construction of our own history.
