Workshop from 14h30 to 16h30
Vernissage from 18h to 21h

Violence and resistance exist side by side. For violence to reproduce and go undetected, it must be justified and normalized, and for resistance to bloom, it must be groomed out of sight. Yet, making something invisible and becoming invisible tells two completely different stories.

Quantics Antics of the Borderless Underground (QABU) is a fictional exploration of resistance from humans and more-than-humans to the (in)visible forms of violence that we call borders. Borders are everywhere, grow in all directions, and so does resistance, spreading through city networks beneath our feet, hidden in plain sight, and materialzing in the most unexpected creatures and places. Through drawings and field recordings, the installation depicts possible elsewheres and elsewhens to denounce the colonial legacy of border narratives and instigate the social imagination against technofascism. Underground routes, mutant moles, and journeys across queer spacetimes situate QABU and its authors within the deadly fiction of borders, made of surveillance, incarcerations, and displacements of discriminated-against bodies. Far from being an escape from structural inequality and systemic oppression, QABU’s imaginary is a call for using existing tools to break the continuum of violence collectively.

Before the opening, we will organize a workshop to craft a shared urban language with special powers. We will create stencils that overlap with soundscapes and turn walls into dimensional portals between cities. What kind of places would you choose or imagine in a city to be part of QABU interdimensional resistance?
