Overview
"Path of Participatory Resistance is a decal-based installation that asks visitors to actively interact with and question the issues and intersections of art, social change, and justice. The installation creates a gallery-wide pathway that features a series of prompts for visitors to respond to. As visitors and community members respond to the associated prompts, they're encouraged to position and leave their written responses amongst the exhibited art. In leaving these responses amongst the exhibited art, the convention of visitor as spectator is intentionally subverted as visitors become active agents and creators within the space. Path of Participatory Resistance strives to amplify visitors' agency in gallery settings by prioritizing their respective and collective voices as an integral staple of art spaces and situate issues of justice and social change as essential realities in art-making and curation spaces." -- Abstract
