    From Social Critique to Social Action in Transnational Art: Challenging Structural Injustice
    (Universidad de Malaga, Departamento de Historia del Arte, 2022) Nualart, Cristina; https://ror.org/02jjdwm75
    Seeking to dismantle structural injustice,political theorist Iris Marion Young proposed the «social connection model»,a theory developed with a world increasingly in need of transnational frameworks in mind. Awareness of this need is also reflected in contemporary artistic practices,which often investigate manifestations of structural injustice such as the climate crisis,sexism,racism or wars. Alongside Young’s model,this article explores two transnational artistic projects engaged in social critique and social action. The selected initiatives deal respectively with mass deportations by the Soviet Union,and with migration between Eastern and Western Europe. We argue that these artistic practices embody the principles of Young’s social connection model. The results that validate the claim are found in achievements such as rendering white privilege visible or activating a restorative collective memory. © 2022 Universidad de Malaga,Departamento de Historia del Arte.

    Museums, Exhibition Discourses and Conflicts in Vietnam
    (Museu d'Art Contemporani Vicente Aguilera Cerni de Vilafames, 2022) Nualart, Cristina; https://ror.org/02jjdwm75
    Since its inception,the history of the museum as an institution has manifested various displays of power that have caused museums themselves to become pawns in the game of persuasive dynamics so typical of soft power. This article introduces the transformations in the use of museums as an indoctrinating tool that have taken place in Vietnam since it was a colonized country,during war conflicts,and up to the present moment marked by an authoritarian government and a weak civil society. © 2022,Museu d'Art Contemporani Vicente Aguilera Cerni de Vilafames.
