During the rough-and-tumble '70s, revolutionary movements were sprouting up around the world like weeds, the byproducts of sociopolitical factors x, y, and z. In his ongoing project Young Man Was No Longer A..., artist/activist Naeem Mohaiemen breaks down the calculus behind these failed crusades. Compiling found images, guerrilla tapes, and diary entries into a multimedia dossier on these would-be Bolsheviks, Mohaiemen lectures on cadres that veered from messianic to manqué, particularly their ties to the present and their long-term effect on, say, federal surveillance or punishment.
