Our new work is on view through Sept. 9 at the Re_institute in Millerton, NY. BAN, a site-responsive performance and installation by the Bridge Club collaborative, respondsto current legal restrictions that violate human dignity and self-determination. Recent statelegislation and Supreme Court decisions deny fundamental bodily autonomy, limit access tohealthcare, restrict knowledge, and eliminate equal opportunities to vote or to pursue education.

Key supreme court decisions that establish or undermine civil liberties are projected throughoutthe installation, but these texts have been layered and obscured in ways that render themunstable. BAN employs protest, subversion and witchcraft to conflate the messages of thosewho wield judgment and the necessity of intervention by those excluded from traditional roles ofpower.
