we are longing for a future that will never come
Sanitary Tortilla Factory presents we are longing for a future that will never come, a project featuring a group of artists who collaboratively address the problematic and eroding narrative of a linear “future” of “progress” fueled by consumption, displacement of peoples and species and the commodification of the Earth. This type of future has been misleading, misrepresentative and inherently violent, especially for traditionally marginalized people, land-based peoples, and the Earth. Working entirely together with multi-media – bioart, textiles, performance, sound and video and photographic installation – the artists com/post these narratives to collaboratively com/pose the future they’re longing for. This project centers alternative futures, highlights trans and queer beauty through gender nonconforming expressions while also challenging notions of individuality and the hierarchy of humans as the dominant species. This project was supported, in part, by a Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant
