Inside the Machine: Intervention and Strike at the Venice Biennale
Summary
This article from e-flux Notes examines the challenge of acting within systems one did not create but cannot easily leave. It highlights the Art Not Genocide Alliance (ANGA) and their organizing efforts leading to a May 8 strike at the Venice Biennale, involving artists, cultural workers, and Italian labor unions. The piece frames this as part of a broader philosophical and political question about intervention versus escape — whether in art, cinema, philosophy, or labor organizing.
