About the Event

Collective Thinking

The proposed events will think through the entanglements between borderlands, performance as well as epistemologies connected to border practices to extend our ongoing research on embodied wanderings and vagrancy across disparate localities. Through collective thinking, we will consider the material and temporal dimensions of hostile environments, debility, and other forms of exclusions that inhibit or render illegible movement of certain groups of people. We will tend to these erasures, in the form of creative or critical practices, and approaches that are more invested in frequencies, resonances, spells and other modes of listening.
