Exhibition Explanation
Peoples and cultures have always tried to differentiate and delineate themselves from others. We construct walls and borders designed to keep others out for a myriad of reasons ranging from the desire to retain what we perceive makes us special to the desire for defense from perceived outside threats. Though this process may be driven by natural urges, it is far from innocent. Walls intended to keep others out also keep their builders isolated within at the same time. This halting or regulating of people, cultures, and ideas can have disastrous impacts for those on both sides of the boundary.
