“Changing Patterns.” This open call requested work that engaged with the concepts and possibilities for change or adaptation of ourselves and others. Can we break free from performativity and the discourse that surrounds us.
Michel Foucault stated that "Power is everywhere", and that we are part of the discourse, influence it and are influenced by it.
If we are entrenched within knowledge systems that affect us from birth, through our schools, institutions, laws, communities and societal 'norms', then is it possible to break free and change our pattern? How much wiggle room do we have if we are intrinsic to the power structures we live within?
