    • Re-wilding Democracy and Making Sanctuary

      Re-wilding Democracy and Making Sanctuary

      July 1 - Sept 20

      This project rethinks dominant ideas of citizenship by challenging fixed, exclusionary definitions of who is allowed to belong. By unsettling these "stable" notions, we open up the possibility of sanctuary as an active, generative space - one that nurtures agency and enables us to question and refuse dominant ways of knowing and being.
