Looking at a range of art practices – including Richard Mosse, the Centre for Political Beauty, Vedovamazzei, and Grada Kilomba – Banai considers how artists have found ways to subvert these increasingly pervasive biopolitical and necropolitical technologies and systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first in the Transmission Sites series, \u003cem\u003eBeing a Border\u003c\/em\u003e is a co-publication by Paper Visual Art and the National College of Art and Design, Dublin.
