Description

A symposium with Ricardo Dominguez & Amy Carroll, Teddy Cruz, Helga
Tawil Souri, Laila el Haddad & Mushon Zer-Aviv.

Radars and Fences 2010 will explore the production of the
Israel/Palestine and Mexico/US borders, examining how they engage
affects, bodies, and spatial scales. Despite their seemingly confounding
specificities, Radars & Fences wishes to open up a dialogue between
these disciplinary boundaries and across cultural and national borders
in order to enable new terms of practical and political engagement. By
bringing together researchers and practitioners from a plurality of
backgrounds and countries, Radars and Fences provides a
cross-disciplinary and experimental platform whereby researchers,
artists, journalists, and activists can negotiate new and critical
positions.
