Violence is not inevitable. It’s an expression of culturally specific values that emerges when struggles over things are transformed into imperatives to injure others, human and beyond-human. Do Not Forgive My Hands, a multi-media installation featuring a variety of materials and artistic forms, including screen-printed images, moving images, sculptural props, sound/video processing and community activations, oscillates between the present and past in establishing pathways of associations and connections on an issue of concern: How humans twist things around them—animals, objects, emotions—toward violence.
