A project by Urban Subjects (Sabine Bitter, Helmut Weber, roulotte:02 collaborators and Jeff Derksen, roulotte:08 collaborator) The Militant Image Picturing What Is Already Going On, Or The Poetics of the Militant Image Camera Austria Graz Austria Sep 28 - Nov 16 A project by Urban Subjects (Sabine Bitter, Jeff Derksen, Helmut Weber) in collaboration with Camera Austria Images of the eruption of revolutions, the momentum of particular liberation struggles, the concatenation of social movements as well as heroic or overlooked individual moments of resistance and refusal - and even acts of courage and love - have historically built an archive of militant images. Yet, as powerful as images of militancy remain - from militant cinema to movement posters to images grabbed in the heat of the moment - their impact within a contemporary media landscape saturated with images of social unrest is not guaranteed. In the political and media terrain of the present, what makes an image militant?
