Boundaries: they define us; we set them.
They distinguish us, to bring us together.
In a time of mandatory ‘physical distancing’, wherein our freedom of movement is being limited for the best, SIDEWARDS developed the wish to research the ambiguous and fluid topic of If you want, maybe not: from emotional, to physical, to spiritual, to spatial, from mental, to political, to cultural, to geographical e.g.
Gathering from our rich variety of SIDEWARDS’ perspectives we aim to explore (our) boundaries in the form of an interactive, physical exposition, while trying to take the nuance, the complexity and the immense grey area of the topic in account with the needed sensitivity, empathy, compassion and care.
