The role of feelings in public life, (political) depression and creative survival.
Everyday objects and materials (rubber bands, paper, a sink, microphones) disabused of their inertia and made to speak for themselves in a kind of focusing in on the tiny, repetitive, almost unobserved (sonic/ visual) potential of everyday things put into motion.
How do people both inside and outside of prison work together to dismantle the criminal justice system and build a society based on collective care?
