Borders and Belonging
2020-2021
Borders. They can be physical barriers or simply lines on a map. They may be clear-cut or open to interpretation. Whatever form borders take, they create inclusion and exclusion, belonging and alienation. Who gets to decide what borders exist and how and where they will be placed? What does it mean to be inside or outside the border? What are the long-lasting, and sometimes unintentional, effects of these borders?
