The exhibition Disobedience Archive (The Republic), held at Turin’s Castello di Rivoli during this last spring and early summer, was the result of nine years of research into a 40-year history of resistance, conducted by curator Marco Scotini as a response to the worldwide anticapitalist uprisings of 2001–2 and the repression of the post-Seattle movement through the Patriot Act in America, and similar legislative processes in other countries.
