Description
A symposium with Ricardo Dominguez & Amy Carroll, Teddy Cruz, Helga Tawil
Souri, Laila el Haddad & Mushon Zer-Aviv.

Radars and Fences 2010 explores the production of the Israel/Palestine and
Mexico/US borders, examining how they engage affects, bodies, and spatial
scales. Despite their seemingly confounding specificities, Radars & Fences
wishes to open up a dialogue between these disciplinary boundaries and
across cultural and national borders in order to enable new terms of
practical and political engagement. By bringing together researchers and
practitioners from a plurality of backgrounds, Radars and Fences provides
a cross-disciplinary and experimental platform whereby researchers,
artists, journalists, and activists can negotiate new and critical
positions.
