What is art for? Can it have a political function by making visible what has been erased or disappeared? During a time of violence and political repression, artists from Argentina, Brazil, and Chile questioned their role in society and the purpose of art itself. The Edge of Things: Dissident Art Under Repressive Regimes gathers experimental artworks from the 1960s through the late 1980s made in a climate of fear and censorship. The artists approached the body, as well as the street, as political spaces to express subversion and resistance.
