In 2025 as national responses to immigration deteriorated, Colette Fu, Jenn Graves, Sun Young Kang, Rejin Leys, + Daniel Minter turned to identity, belonging, + the power of naming. The hyphen became a point of inquiry: a small mark that can unite + divide, bridge + break.

Removal by Tona Wilson

"Using reduction linoleum printing (itself a kind of removal), and letterpress, the print emphasizes the contrast between the cold and clinical use of the word 'removal' and the reality for the people who suffer its consequences."
