In the midst of gathering storms—genocides, wars, forced displacements, global climate collapse, the ascendency of technocracy, alongside the unyielding presence of unjust ideologies such as sexism, racism, colonialism, imperialism, and capitalism—emerges our curatorial and editorial initiative, Alt-Alterity‭.‬ This publication is a comprehensive compilation of artworks and insightful interviews from the Alt-Alterity group exhibition, curated and developed by the Underground Art And Design team. Spanning from December 2023 to February 2024, the exhibition features a diverse array of creations from artists from 13 different countries. From the imagination of reversed realities and hybrid forms of existence to the exploration of marginal cultural expressions and the blurred boundaries of fluid identity, the exhibition is divided into three chapters: "Unsung Wisdom, Rebel Tech," "Ephemeral Cycles, Everlasting Collapses," and "Fluid Bodies, Blurred Boundaries."
