Introduction for the Spaces for Possibility artist collective comes from collective member, Devin Prendergast.

Artists and art education academics come together to discuss their work in relation to the themes of the symposium -- potential and impotential; festivity; use, enough use, and queering use -- and our guiding questions:

What is our potential to act?

What can, cannot, and can Not be saved?

How much use is enough?

What worlds can we make and un-make together?
