"Up Against The Wall" | Photo Exhibit & Installation by K. Flo Razowsky
http://www.facebook.com/event.
Opening reception: Friday August 12, 7-11pm
See below for the entire month of events.
It’s about the look of borders come manifest and the effects on the people and the land when the arbitrary line in the sand takes form.
And it’s about creating the intersections to bring it all home.
Up Against The Wall allows us to explore structures we create in this world to separate ourselves from each other, using the US/Mexico border, Israel’s wall in Palestine, and the structures used to cut off Spanish Melilla from Morocco as focus.
It tells a story of indigenous peoples made refugees on their own land.
It tells a story of these people and the structures that alienate them from their dreams.
And it tells the story of our own culpability in this globalized world.
