Abstract
Tacktical aesthetics is a propositional aesthetic language for an art that seeks to reinforce and reproduce values present in philosophies of relationality in place of those present in contemporary systems of domination. With this text I present some partial declarations about tacktical aesthetics that draw on Indigenous and feminist philosophies of relationality and on ideas of resingularization. As well as reflecting on the value of neologisms for this type of project, I discuss the various implications for tacktical aesthetics, including its relation to contemporary art and shock tactics, and the double bind that occurs when privileges inherent in contemporary art practices that reproduce or reinforce systems of domination are brought into question. The question that remains relates to how tacktical aesthetics might develop as an art practice.
