    Résumé

    Artists for Democracy formed in London in 1974 to give "material and cultural support to liberation movements worldwide". Precarious Solidarities addresses the far-reaching actions of this group of cultural workers - whose personal/artistic trajectories span Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas - and the entanglement of artistic practice with transnational solidarities shaped by migration and political mobilisation.
    Through a range of new commissions, contributions from AFD members, and extensive archival documentation, Precarious Solidarities highlights the group's multiple agencies and conditions of possibility - artistic, social, political, historical and geographic - and the potentials of these histories today.
