How do we dream across borders and beyond them?

Saturday, April 18th at @philosophical_research_society , artist and designer Bianca Nozaki-Nasser joins artist and scholar Guadalupe Arellanes Castro to explore how borders, physical, political, and imagined, shape our sense of belonging and possibility.

We’ll play with storytelling, mapping, and collective imagination as tools for world building. Together, we’ll explore how ecological, queer, and abolitionist visions can help us unlearn borders drawn around our bodies, lands, and possibilities.

@gwadalinaaa Guadalupe Arellanes, PhD is an artist, researcher, and educator. Her PhD research, (Im)migrant Ecologies: Relating Beyond Borders, examines the centrality of “place” and relationality within (im)migrant-led environmental struggles in Southern California in order to consider the abolition of borders and nations. She has lectured at various California universities and presented at numerous conferences. She is one of the first fellows of the Crossing Latinidades Mellon Foundation initiative. Her art explores existential questions while also often centering ecological themes and elements of surrealism.
