They wanted their art activism to no longer be uprooted.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThey arrived at a place French politicians had declared lost to the republic, otherwise know as the zad (the zone to defend): a messy but extraordinary canvas of commoning, illegally occupying 4,000 acres of wetlands where an international airport was planned. In 2018, the 40-year-long struggle snatched an incredible victory, defeating the airport expansion project through a powerful cocktail that merged creation and resistance.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFremeaux and Jordan blend rich eyewitness accounts with theory, inspired by a diverse array of approaches, from neo-animism to revolutionary biology, insurrectionary writings and radical art history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePublished in collaboration with the \u003cem\u003eJournal of Aesthetics \u0026amp; Protest\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pluto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54218085335384,"sku":"9780745345871","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/we-are-nature-defending-itself","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
