The collision of activism and contemporary art, from the Seattle protests to Occupy and beyond

Made over the course of a decade, Allora & Calzadilla's videos Returning a Sound (2004), Under Discussion (2005) and Half Mast/Full Mast (2010) were shown together for the first time at Lisson Gallery, London. Each video addresses the complicated history of Vieques, an inhabited island off Puerto Rico that was used by the United States Navy as a bomb-testing range from 1941 until 2003. The Navy was forced to evacuate by a civil disobedience campaign waged by local residents, with supporters throughout the world. Published on the occasion of Allora & Calzadilla: Vieques Videos 2003 - 2011 at Lisson Gallery, London, 23 November 2011 - 14 January 2012.
