Curated by Related Tactics

Ready presents a pair of mobile stations created by Related Tactics that gather and deploy a collection of artists’ interventions, tools and strategies that can be used by audiences to interrupt systems of marginalization, exploitation and erasure, large and small. The assembled materials range from the poetic to prompts for guerilla actions, from stickers to seeds, from prompts for literary analysis to the building blocks for temporary gatherings, but are all linked through their interest in encouraging individual agency in challenging everyday moments where we are often caught off guard or isolated from allies. Ready offers a variety of tools to be utilized beyond the exhibition.

Related Tactics is Michele Carlson, Weston Teruya and Nathan Watson. They produce creative projects at the intersection of race and culture to confront and critique systemic and institutional racism and inequities.
