Table of ContentsReviewsThis thought-provoking anthology is the fruitful result of a concerted effort by academics, arts practitioners, and art-activists, offering an original critique of how today's urban artscape is being critically reshaped from the local to the global. The collection attends to the subversive potential of urban public-art practice, while providing an apt reflection on its constructive role as catalyst for social, political, environmental and geopolitical challenges. Multidisciplinary in approach, the richly illustrated case studies, traversing the Global North and South, reveal how local / global grassroots artivism and arts movements may boost citizen participation, bridge social and cultural difference, and claim both public and institutional spaces for promoting better alternative urban futures. Luger and Ren's edited compilation is essential reading for students and scholars concerned with the urban nexus of art-making, space, identity and resistance.
