How might we continue to transgress divisive structures of control?
Things, beings, and bodies are relentlessly cleaved apart from one another through forms of division: binaries, names, laws, or walls. If we hold that these divisions are often artificial—and fail to capture the fluidity and continuity that shape our everyday lives—what’s necessary to unlearn them? Why do we name, build boxes, construct walls, and establish boundaries? Where does the impulse to confine, restrain, and incapacitate ourselves and others derive from? Artists address these questions in diverse ways: some use spaces and events to build collectivity across geographic and cultural difference; others use performance to thoroughly blur the boundary between human and animal; and yet others collaborate with materials and technologies that question our sense of what is living.
