Dreaming about the post-border futures

Dreaming about the post-border futures
What comes after borders?
File under
Type of project
  • New alliances

The closing of the borders left us with tension, forced to confront ourselves. The border is not comfortable, and we quickly find excuses to shift our attention elsewhere.
The border connects to other wounds of the Earth. Our distancing practices maintain the well-funded borderscape. How can we develop our agency?

Do not look away. Rather, look into the future and ask, what comes after borders?
The memory of the borders will inform the future of our failures. Heavy memories of power in stone and bronze dominate our landscape. Nature used to organize its plans without our intervention. How can we work with nature to co-exist and shape the boundaries between us?
We use land art to investigate the border. We use the limits, once an obstacle to our dreams and goals, to find power.
We invite all who have managed to cross the border, and all who support us, to join us.
Let's link toward and across the border: build a bridge.
