Cultural Counterpower: Can Cultural Infrastructure Cultivate the Imagination?

[S1E01] Can Cultural Infrastructure Cultivate the Imagination? Stay connected with the latest news from Politics in Motion. Join our mailing list today: https://www.politicsinmotion.org In this first episode of Cultural Counterpower, Laura discusses the relationship between art and the ways we imagine the world around us. She delves into the powerful forces that have narrowed the public imaginary and how they neatly dovetail with the traditional functions of cultural institutions. By connecting the dots between how museums are funded and the highly specific interests and ideals they often serve, she makes a compelling proposal for undoing these inequitable conditions towards a more generous and generative cultural sphere. Laura Raicovich is an advocate for art that embraces complexity, poetics, and care to foster a more just civic realm. She is a member of the collective that launched The Francis Kite Club, a bar, cultural, and activist space in 2023, and is a founding member of Urban Front, a research and policy consultancy devoted to making cities better for more people. Raicovich authored the book "Culture Strike: Art and Museums in an Age of Protest" (Verso, 2021), and curates Protodispatch, a digital publication featuring artists' perspectives on global issues. Raicovich is also researching and writing a book about the artists featured in Peggy Guggenheim’s 1943 “Exhibition by 31 Women,” and has co-edited "Studies Into Darkness: The Perils and Promise of Freedom of Speech." She has held positions such as interim director of the Leslie Lohman Museum of Art and president/executive director of the Queens Museum. Raicovich has received prestigious fellowships from the Rockefeller Foundation and Emily H. Tremaine Journalism Fellowship for Curators at Hyperallergic. Laura Raicovich’s Cultural Counterpower is co-produced by Politics in Motion.
