Laura Raicovich guest-edited the fourth issue of A Blade of Grass’s biannual magazine on art and social change. Completed just before the COVID-19 pandemic hit the United States, the issue looks at Governance Reimagined by delving into the work of artists and cultural producers who not only bear witness to the pain and upheaval we are experiencing but also provide examples for a different way of living.
The included stories of international democratic movements, self-governance, decolonization, coalition building, and mutual aid inject some optimism into this revolutionary moment and can provide a playbook for artists and cultural producers to bridge the gap unminded by our political leaders. The issue includes contributions by Raquel de Anda, Marcus Briggs-Cloud, Deborah Fisher , Laia Forné, Thomas Gokey , Laura Hanna, Kathryn McKinney, Alejandro Meitin, Jorge Díaz Ortiz, Gala Pin, Laura Raicovich, Miguel Robles-Durán, Jonas Staal, and Li Sumpter.
