Breaking Boundaries: Art, Innovation, and Social Engagement (2012)
Curation: Mary Stephens and Casandra Hernandez
Presented by: ASU Performance in the Borderlands
Panelists: Rickerby Hinds (Hip hop playwright), Rachel Bowditch (performer), Jeffery Ferns (arts producer), Jacob Meders (visual artist), April Bojorquez (artist and anthropologist), Elizabeth Johnson (dancer/choreographer)
Artists: Phonetic Spit, Tomas Stanton, Efrain Robles
Graphic Design: Chandra Narcia
Photography: Jeannette LeBlanc

Breaking Boundaries brought together national and local artists, academics, cultural workers, and community members to discuss multidisciplinary art practices that engage with contemporary social issues. Participants learned about performance that blends anthropology, theater, ritual studies and visual technology; indigenous textiles that preserve traditional knowledge through QR codes; an initiative that combines multimedia performance with visual and social art to examine Phoenix’s urban landscape; theatre that uses elements of hip hop; art that breaks stereotypes of Native American identity; and dance that promotes civic dialogue through choreography.
