The Nodeul School for the Disabled is a grassroots, self-organized school and activist organization for and by disabled adults located in Seoul, South-Korea. The issue presents Paolo Caffoni's encounter with the school, which practices a pedagogy that empowers students to act politically and to forge resistance and rights for individuals marked by precarity. Issues of disability are discussed through various lenses such as the history of labor and the inherent weaknesses within systems of language and translation.
As creative research publication, The Invisible Archive (TIA) is committed to creating a dialogue that investigates how ideas on performativity and embodiment intersect with art and activism. TIA is also an archive project concerned with the structures and process of archiving through collaboration, self-organization and publishing. In our previous issues we have featured writings that reflected on the invisible labor, politics, and challenges attached to artistic and activist practices that are vulnerable due to their ephemeral nature, censorship, institutional neglect, cultural bias, or politically unpopular content.
