Defiance of Juncture
What is defiance? Is it an action? An idea? Is it contained within a movement? An object? How does operating in that defiance define the point in time? How does defiance or the definition of defiance differ throughout time? 鈥淢ay You Live In Interesting Times鈥�, the title for the 58th Venice Biennale in 2019, unknowingly predicted the sentiment of humanity just eight months later.
鈥淚nteresting Times鈥� would prove to be an understatement, as the COVID-19 pandemic, alongside numerous uprisings in the country, gave way to the defiance of current conditions in many facets of our society. Analyzing these conditions has allowed for constant dialogue among humanity about the actions of the past and present and eventually how they will affect our future. This has given us the opportunity to create what鈥檚 to come.
