Past Disquiet

 Past Disquiet / Passé Inquiet: Musées, exil et solidarité opens on 16 February at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris. Brought to Paris by Kristine Genevive Khouri and Rasha Salti it's especially meaningful at this difficult moment.

“Past Disquiet” is a documentary and archival exhibition that retraces the histories of political engagement and solidarity of artists within the international anti-imperialist movement from the 1960s through to the 1980s. The fruit of inquest initiated in 2008 by researchers and curators Kristine Khouri and Rasha Salti, the exhibition takes as its starting point the forgotten, transcontinental stories of four “museums in exile”, or ‘museums in solidarity’, conceived as touring exhibitions, they incarnated the support of artists worldwide to the struggle for liberation of the Palestinian and Nicaraguan people respectively, and the struggle against the Pinochet dictatorship in Chile and the apartheid regime in South Africa.

The exhibit carries information and photos concerning the work of the Brigada Orlando Letelier, the Chilean Muralist group of which I am a founding member.
