At a time when democracies across the world are under threat from a mix of nationalism and corporate power, Cassandra 2020 envisions more creative political processes that listen to those who have been most failed by our social structures. A faux-US presidential campaign, Cassandra 2020 draws its name from a Greek mythological character. The princess of Troy, Cassandra was cursed so that no one would listen to her warnings. By choosing her as the figurehead, Cassandra 2020 emphasizes the importance of listening to voices that are often marginalized in public discourses. The slogan/question at the heart of the “campaign”: who do we think we are? The question is unanswerable yet invites contemplation. It is critical while self-involving, as the project seeks to broaden ideas of civic engagement and responsibility. At the heart of the project are videos investigating terms that lie along political and social fault lines: freedom, justice, safety, and patriotism. , I have conducted over 80 interviews in 15 US states with interview subjects including formerly incarcerated citizens, indigenous activists, preachers, truckers, firefighters, youth climate activists, and more. As part of BienalSur, I would weave into these videos interviews with residents of whatever country hosted the exhibition, creating space for a greater understanding of our interconnectedness.
