Broken Boxes: A Decade of Art, Action, and Dialogue

By Josie Lopez and Ginger Dunnill

Broken Boxes: A Decade of Art, Action, and Dialogue celebrates ten years of Ginger Dunnill's podcast of the same name and exalts the intersectionality of contemporary artists. Intersectionality studies the overlapping and intersecting social identities and related systems of oppression, domination, and discrimination. Here are twenty-three extraordinary artists bringing the creativity of their processes and identities to life in the Albuquerque Museum's exhibition and in this accompanying book. Broken Boxes delves deeply into the realm of intentionality, challenging not just how artists create, but why. And Broken Boxes--the podcast, the exhibition, and the book--thrives on bringing artists together in dialogue with each other through the artist's own words. This book provides an opportunity to introduce the larger public to artists committed to creating, sustaining, and encouraging solidarity. By opening up the conversations across communities, groups, art practices, materials, and shared space, we hope to demonstrate how artists are forging new forms of action.
