Description
A collaborative installation by Weston Teruya & Michele Carlson that looks at the construction of nationhood and identity through a sculptural disruption of institutional educational spaces. This project exposes the power dynamics contained within the architecture and set-up of traditional American classrooms and explores how histories of marginalized communities are taught and absorbed into concepts of nationhood and citizenship. This new installation destabilizes and re-imagines the environment that we learn and grow up in.Weston Teruya was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawai'i and currently resides in the San Francisco Bay Area after a nine year stint at various points in the greater Los Angeles area.
Michele Carlson was born in Seoul, Korea. She received her MFA in Printmaking and MA in Visual & Critical Studies (Visual Criticism) from California College of the Arts.
