With elections around the corner, many Americans are dreaming of change, but this group of artists remains skeptical, exploring moments of unrest in US history for a new perspective. Jonathan Santos' video shows what the world looks like to a wounded Revolutionary War soldier as he falls to the ground; Mary Walling Blackburn mingles the nightmares of US soldiers in Iraq with Mesopotamian dream texts; Nathan Lynch displays a collection of images of Bush's nose, ritually excised from pictures in the New York Times. In watching history repeat itself, they all present reasons for both activism and despair.
