Installation + Performance
Race Cards takes place in a room containing 1,000 questions about race, written by artist Selina Thompson. You’re invited to answer one of them.
65. Are you black, or are you ‘new black’?
170. What is the long term psychological impact of white supremacy on people of colour?
220. My mum does not talk about race anymore. It makes her uncomfortable, tired. Will this happen to me?
307. Why do people assume that racism will just passively die out if we wait long enough?
440. Are you angry?
541. What ever happened to Kony 2012?
660. Who is more problematic – famous racist Nigel Farage, or the liberal journalist politely asking him questions?
720. When does it all end?
In this constantly evolving installation and archive, Thompson invites participants to supply their own answers to the many facets of race and racism in modern society.
On April 14 at 3pm, Selina Thompson will ask all 1,000 questions in a durational performance.
