Past Disquiet: Panel Discussions

*dummy text* Past Disquiet is an exhibition of stories collected over ten years of research. Centred on retracing how four art collections came to be, the combined accomplishment of artists and militants that incarnated their support for a political cause and intended to become museums of solidarity. More specifically, the research focused on investigating the stories of the International Art Exhibition for Palestine, which was held in Beirut in 1978; the Museo Internacional de la Resistencia Salvador Allende (MIRSA), which was established by Chilean exiles and their supporters following the 1973 coup d’état in Chile, as well as its earlier incarnation, the Museo de la Solidaridad, which existed from 1971 to 1973; the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano en Solidaridad con Nicaragua instigated by the first Sandinista government; and the Art Contre/Against Apartheid collection, which toured internationally in the years leading up to the fall of the apartheid regime in South Africa. These four collections share intersecting histories. When we recount their stories, we are also addressing the contexts in which they emerged, along with the key figures and protagonists involved in their making. Past Disquiet is a documentary and archival exhibition that retells forgotten or silenced histories using images, texts and videos. We invite you to immerse yourself in this world of stories, remembrances, images, and documents so you may create your own interpretations and safely preserve your own memories of what we have chosen to display.
