“What is this moment, this now, this present that we are encountering? …It is a present in which the divide between radical positions is increasing and the voices of a left are drowning in disbelief, alienation and fear. In the crush of this increasingly pressurized present, we understand the context of contemporary art as a space where a response is possible, necessary and connects to other calls to action. We asked local, national and international artists and writers to respond to the question: What is this new moment?”
