Red Wedge is a publication written and edited by revolutionary Marxist activists, artists and culture workers. Art and culture have always been tied with the political and economic realities of our time, both good and bad. Red Wedge seeks to examine this connection. Our political viewpoint is one of solidarity, internationalism, feminism, sexual liberation, antiracism and workers self-emancipation.

Red Wedge brings you the latest cultural news, analysis, reviews, writing and imagery every weekfrom the frontline of the struggles, concert halls, museum walls and picket lines.
