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.
