Thinking in the Borderlands:  Beyond the Human

A Space is pleased to present the first exhibition of the Thinking in the Borderland series – Beyond the Human, an online exhibition interrogating the themes that centralise the humanist, and oftentimes Eurocentric perspectives. Drawing from the theory of Border thinking by Walter Mignolo, the exhibition series challenges contemporary epistemologies that are still haunted by imperial logic—those that seek to categorize, segregate, and enclose. This exposition is a vital demonstration of phenomena marginalized by dominant discourse, amplifying voices from geographical, linguistic, and cultural borders. In the chapter Beyond the Human, the exhibition demonstrates the possible cosmologies that exist amongst us, yet remain uncaptured by the mainstream representation. The displayed narratives coerce subtle emotional, psychological, and cross-cultural narratives that are yet to be named and clarified by locutionary expressions.
