“in case they run again” addresses deeply rooted racist structures, even among those who believe they are free from such thoughts. This work traverses the timeline from the beginnings of slavery to the present day, examining power imbalances and drawing parallels between sexuality, racism, and education.
It explores how the control and education of both animals and humans serve to enforce compliance and maintain dominance. The piece reflects on a troubling reality—one marked by threatened egos and stagnant thinking. In this context, concepts of right and wrong become irrelevant; the ambition remains unchanged: to control resistance, regulate those deemed different, and, if necessary, eliminate them.
