Abstract
As práticas artísticas activistas são um importante meio de contestação e impõem desafios ao discurso hegemónico. Neste artigo analisamos a subversão enquanto estratégia de resistência, que opera transformando o espaço institucional numa arena cultural, onde a hegemonia é questionada e diferentes perspectivas se confrontam. Como estudo de caso, apresentamos a obra Subsidy do artista Joshua Schwebel, cujo foco é a realidade laboral do sector artístico no capitalismo contemporâneo.
Artistic activism practices are an important form of protest and challenge the hegemonic discourse. In this article we analyse subversion as a resistance strategy, which operates by transforming the institutional space in a cultural arena, where hegemony is questioned and different perspectives are confronted. As a case study, we present the work Subsidy from the artist Joshua Schwebel, which questions labour relations in the arts sector in contemporary capitalism.
