A collaborative installation by Weston Teruya & Michele Carlson that looks at the construction of nationhood and identity through a sculptural disruption of institutional educational spaces. This project exposes the power dynamics contained within the architecture and set-up of traditional American classrooms and explores how histories of marginalized communities are taught and absorbed into concepts of nationhood and citizenship. This new installation destabilizes and re-imagines the environment that we learn and grow up in.
