Nov 21 2015
2–4pm

Join us for a seminar and workshop with the organization Bordr, part
of the exhibition What Border Have You Crossed? traveling to
the Queens Museum’s Partnership Gallery from Nov 21 to Dec 31.
This exhibition and project seeks to reveal as much about Queens as its participants, the local-global world they live in, and the borders they care about.

Exhibition tour and discussion 12-2pm
(Second-floor Partnership Gallery)
With Marcus Haraldsson, artist and acting Executive Director of Bordr, Erik Faxgard, board member, and Chrissie Faniadis, Bordr Board Chair.

Seminar and workshop 2-4pm
(Second-floor theater)
In this micro border workshop, participants will co-create this exercise and share their own stories across space, mind, and time.
We will explore the borders of Queens and bring up different aspects of Bordr’s methodology. How can border experiences be connected? And what does it mean beyong technology and concepts? Marcus
will also share the history and idea of the exhibition, pilot-projects, and general information about the Bordr organization.
We ask people to register in advance for this seminar and workshop, but we will also welcome people on the day of the event if there is space.

Bordr is a Sweden-based organization thatgrew out of a project with the QueensMuseum New New Yorkers Program in 2011–2012. Six first-generation migrants in Queens borrowed cameras while briefly
returning to their native countries on five continents to capture the borders between homes. The result became a borderexperience
database, an app, exhibitions, and the Bordr methodology. Bordr is now a team of five involved in projects exploring methods to create understanding and curiosity across Europe, in Southern Africa
and in the US. The team consists of Chrissie Faniadis (Sweden) Christo de Klerk (US), Erik Faxgård (Sweden), Marcus Haraldsson
(Sweden) and Shriya Malhotra (India). Read more on: bordr.org
