Four artists each take a different approach to the dynamics of collectivity and futures as they might exist in our collective imagination. They offer a multi-perspective look at the way we understand our relationships with one another and at fundamental media structures that reinforce, inhibit or liberate our speech. Their media explorations in the context of collective practices expand the field of participation far beyond the walls of the exhibition space. Some positions look back , to the languages and media forms through which we have learned to understand our history. Others, in turn, look forward , to the possibility of how language could speak a new future. Although from different perspectives, the artists are concerned with the simplest of all ideas - collective storytelling as a momentary act of liberation.
