The Archive has been exhibited in multiple venues across the World since 2005. In this installation the Archive will expand to include cases of political and artistic action that have manifested in the geographic and historical terrain of Boston. In addition, new student works that critically interrogate concepts of Disobedience will be exhibited as well. The Disobedience Archive research and exhibition project is produced in collaboration with the students from the ACT courses Art, Architecture and Urbanism in Dialogue and Introduction to Networked Cultures and Participatory Media.
