wedgeshop is a project of Red Wedge Magazine that aims to distribute socialist and popular avant-garde art, media and cultural artifacts (at affordable rates that compensate artists). It has become clear that the institutions of the art world and the culture industry will not sufficiently support a popular avant-garde. It is up to us.

Roughly one hundred full color, illustrated pages of essays, commentary, poetry, art, comics and reviews. "Apartheid" in today's world does not describe only a particular legal circumstance in this or that corner of the globe. Art, literature, music and creativity, in a very basic sense, are a bending of time and space, a defiance of the ways racism, capitalism and imperialism have shaped our world. They dare us to imagine over the walls.
