Issue #4–CARRY
What are we carrying? How can we lighten our loads? Why are we so armed and guarded? Can we put down our weapons and carry each other instead? What makes a space safe for a community to thrive? What makes a body feel safe? Who will carry our future?
We are looking at these questions historically and from an international perspective. We are looking for art that is dreaming of a society where people have the autonomy to choose what is right for their bodies.
