Holding Hearing Court, 2015
One of two galleries in the With Respect To... solo exhibition at Weingart Gallery at Occidental College, Los Angeles CA. The HHC is part of CamLab's "speaker mounds" series. Participants were invited to browse, read aloud, and stand/lie/squat proud! Research binders had themes of 'Force' and 'Dependence (Co- / Inter-).' Found texts contributed by CamLab and the members of its Occidental College Power Play class: Emilie Arnau, Gabriel Bethke, Gabriela Castillo, Hannah Kaminsky, Haarika Reddy, Sianni Rosenstock, Margot Simon, Chloe Welmond, and Allison Wendt.
