On Art Activism
27 January 2026
This text is a Persian translation of the article “On Art Activism” by Boris Groys, published in issue 56 of the journal e-flux in 2014. Groys examines art activism through the concept of aesthetization, critically rethinking the relationship between art, politics, and design. Situating his analysis within philosophical and historical debates that extend beyond modernity and narratives of progress, he argues that aestheticization does not neutralize political action but can instead open a revolutionary horizon for it.
