“To those who continue to be battered by the political storms threatening our archipelagos. To those who have the collective strength to weather these storms.”

This book is the result of fieldwork carried out in Greece between July 2017 and January 2020 by philosopher Christiane Vollaire and photographer Philippe Bazin. It combines critical documentary photography and field philosophy around the driving force of solidarity.

An Archipelago of Solidarity presents the power of solidarity networks in the face of destructive global policies. It thus prompts reflection on “another political possibility” and the energy of the common good.
