Border Control: Artists’ Responses to Incarceration

This program brings together artists who work inside spaces of incarceration and immigration detention. Hosted by the Border Criminologies’ Subjectivities and Penal Power project this series of artists’ talks address the aesthetics of border control. Defined by activist methods of social practice within institutions of incarceration and deportation, these are bordered aesthetics. Documenting the state systems that put border control in place they explore confinement, censorship, and the power of archival and photographic evidence.
