Today is the closing day for the Tufts University Art Galleries exhibition “Art for the Future: Artists Call and Central American Solidarities,” which focuses on the seminal 1980s activist campaign. Growing out of the friendships, solidarity networks and political organizing amongst artists and activists such as Daniel Flores y Ascencio, Lucy Lippard, Doug Ashford, Leon Golub and Coosje van Bruggen, the campaign resulted in exhibitions, performances, poetry readings, film screenings, concerts, and other cultural and educational events in more than 27 cities across the United States and Canada. The exhibition highlights Artists Call’s history through a selection of activities and works from the 31 exhibitions and over 1,100 artists who participated in New York City, and references Artists Call’s legacy today in new forms of inter-American solidarity networks and visual alliances.
