Regular price
"On Contradiction" and "On Practice" are important philosophical works that outline his views on dialectical materialism and the acquisition of knowledge. In "On Contradiction," Mao argues that all things in the world are contradictory, and that these contradictions are the driving force of change. He identifies two basic types of contradictions: principal contradictions and secondary contradictions. In "On Practice," Mao argues that knowledge is acquired through practice. He identifies three stages in the acquisition of knowledge: perception, comprehension, and application.

Supporting independent artists cultural workers under capitalism

Making independent art is not without its challenges. It is not cheap, easy, or quick, and it is often not valued in a material sense. However, artists still need to eat and pay rent.

Contemporary art, media and journalistic praxis, and cultural work more broadly are often exploited in building social movements, yet they are often unstable and precarious at best.
