Digital Margins

For Counterpublic, curators and artists Jerome Harris, Serubiri Moses and Gee Wesley have organized the first iteration of Digital Margins, a library and publishing site within Teatopia. Digital Margins is a print and web platform inviting underrepresented artists, collectives, curators, and researchers to consider the impact of the internet on digital art infrastructures and to occupy the web as a counterpublic for radical strategies, marginalized practitioners, and underrecognized artistic legacies.

This project explores the myriad ways in which the internet now serves as a domain for forging and bridging counterpublics among minoritarian cultural producers. Digital Margins looks to the neologism “counter-publish” as useful appellation for a diverse set of historical approaches that turn to publications to achieve non-hegemonic spaces of access and autonomy or, stated otherwise, to make public and to make publics.
