Mobility and Post Democracy: Right of Refusal

Most rights support active participation in society, but the right of refusal makes a case for non-participation.

This event begins with an interactive video game installation, inviting attendees to resist the centripetal pull of the fast-paced city. The implications of video games and other forms of withdrawal and resistance will be discussed by a panel of artists, academics, and curators. By framing resistance as a human right, the right of refusal invokes coordinated action, solidarity, and the law to magnify the political implications of individual decisions. These discussions are particularly relevant as voters in the United States consider their options in the forthcoming presidential elections.
