My latest article 'Curating Vraca Memorial Park: Activism, Counter-Memory, and Counter-Politics" is out now with @INTPOLITSOCIO, and is open access: academic.oup.com/ips/advance…

It's available #OpenAccess + would be keen to hear thoughts!

🧐@LydiaCCole considers Vraca Memorial Park in 🇧🇦 as a lively site of curatorial politics and proposes activist curatorship concept.
