The Disobedience Archive, a mobile video archive initiated by Marco Scotini in 2005, is presented in dialogue with Raqs Media Collective at the Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst in Zürich. The archive contains over one hundred documentary and art films at the intersection of art and activism, documenting forms of resistance, social struggle, and collective self-organization.
This exhibition matters because it repositions the archive as a living, evolving platform rather than a static collection, emphasizing how art can document and inspire political engagement. By pairing the archive with Raqs Media Collective's work, the show highlights the ongoing relevance of disobedience as a creative and political force in contemporary art.
