Tricontinental Circulations: Visual Politics and Transnational Struggles

However, the anti-imperialist imperative and the Third World agenda and visual arsenal of the Tricontinental went beyond these spaces reverberating on the visual politics of the artists around the world from 1968 onwards. Visual models, collective practices, artistic and curatorial dispositive and modes of action circulated throughout the Atlantic, connecting artistic and political projects from distant cities such as Paris, Buenos Aires, Santiago de Chile, Venice, Madrid or Lisbon.
