21st Century Deconstruction for Reconstruction
Book title and cover | Group exhibition | Typeforce 13, Co-Prosperity, Chicago | Jan–Feb 2025
Book included in Bookstand 2125: Matriarchal Design Futures, a global collaborative project that invited artists and designers to imagine and create books from the year 2125, held by Heather Snyder Quinn and Ayako Takase. In this speculative future, knowledge and creativity flourish within systems centered on care, nurturing, and collective well-being rather than competition and scarcity.
As a review of the transformative past, 21st Century Deconstruction for Reconstruction reflects upon the sociopolitical ideology and practice of taking things down and reconstituting select parts, which had a significant role in leading to the prosperous, inclusive time of the first quarter of the 22nd century. Utilized as a metaphor, collage images serve to illustrate the text.
