Activist and curator Marco Baravalle shows how artists across the Global South and North are building alter-institutions - autonomous, collective infrastructures that challenge both state and market control. Drawing on operaismo, decolonial theory, and two decades of radical curating, Baravalle outlines an artistic practice grounded in cooperation, solidarity, and resistance.
Marco Baravalle is a Venice-based researcher, curator, and activist. A co-founder of the Institute of Radical Imagination and Sale Docks, he works at the intersection of art, politics, and social movements. His research focuses on neoliberalism, colonialism, and the relationship between art and ecology, exploring how cultural institutions can be reimagined through collective and anticapitalist practices. He is the co-editor of Art for Radical Ecologies (Manifesto) (2024) and has long been involved in international networks of radical curating and art activism.
