Movement Media - In Pursuit of Solidarity

In Movement Media, Rachel Kuo assesses the possibilities and limitations of crafting solidarities through media-making processes and communication practices. Drawing on interviews, archival research, and ethnographic fieldwork, Kuo revisits key social movements to assess the mundane and less visible forms of movement building that help various groups navigate the politics of difference in theory and in practice. Kuo situates these movements alongside shifts in technological developments and the communication landscape, making the case that building and sustaining solidarity requires time and work to develop shared political analysis and practices.
