BOUNDARIES can take many forms.
They state where one thing ends and another begins. They act as separators and define a border.
They can be implicit or clearly defined. They can be legal, part of a code of conduct, expected, geographical, emotional, conceptual and political.
They can change over time and evolve.
Sara Ahmed writes in "Strange Encounters" about the many types of borders, which include skin, neighbourhoods, culture, fear, and belief systems.
There are some borders we can control and others we cannot.
For this open call, we sought art and writing that explored how we can push against borders in all their forms.

Description: A creative piece of mark-making that I'd like to represent and add other aspects of barriers people have to fight and get in the way of potential. Reflects the current feeling of trying to find work.
