Take Two Speaker Series: Working In the Space Between Borders

This event is from the archives of The Notice Board. The event has already taken place and the information contained in this post may no longer be relevant or accurate.

We both start from a place of working to disrupt the borders that are exclusionary to the often-marginalized, displaced, and dispossessed groups we work with. This means recognizing how borders delineate and polarize and importantly understanding how boundaries can become permeable and accessible to people such that they can refuse, resist, and reframe them.
