Newsletter August 2023 Issue SOLIDARITY

SOLIDARITY, the SMB Periodicals Newsletter August issue introduces an interview with AWC. The International Coalition of Cultural Workers in Solidarity with Ukraine) in order to study further on the ideas of 12th Seoul Mediacity Biennale (SMB12). The non-territorial mapping referenced throughout SMB12 unfolds imagined alternatives for crossing boundaries in an era when extremist nationalism and cultural isolationism have become particularly acute. As an art collective and platform that has actively implemented the language of interdependency throughout non-territorial solidarities within the limits of geopolitical crises and territorial maps in recent years, AWC strongly argues for the solidarity and diversity of art and cultural workers. This interview with AWC offers an opportunity to confirm the political role of the biennale, which acts as a truly global public space and an alternative to constant displacement and border crossing.
