Vanguardia chronicles and theorises changing forms of socially engaged art and radical politics since the rise of the anti-globalisation movement. From Occupy Wall Street to Black Live Matter and MeToo, Vanguardia detects signs of avant-garde praxis in the new social movements and activist collectives that challenge global capitalism. -- .

The avant garde is dead, or so the story goes for many leftists and capitalists alike. But in an era of neoliberal austerity, neocolonial militarism and ecological crisis, this postmodern view seems increasingly outmoded. Rejecting ‘end of ideology’ post-politics, Vanguardia delves into the changing praxis of socially engaged art and theory in the age of the Capitalocene. Covering the major events of the last decade, from anti-globalisation protests, Occupy Wall Street, the Maple Spring, Strike Debt and the Anthropocene, to the Black Lives Matter and MeToo campaigns, Vanguardia puts forward a radical leftist commitment to the revolutionary consciousness of avant-garde art and politics. -- .
