At This Point, It is Procedural
No full textAndrea Czafit (b. 1998), Sanford FL
Many citizens regularly enter municipal facilities in their communities without considering the foundational histories embedded within. To heighten awareness of these overlooked infrastructural politics, this work emphasizes the capitalist-catering tendencies rooted within biased and dismissive media coverage of minority residents and communities, leading to their disenfranchisement.
Developed from a curated selection of archival records associated with my hometown of Sanford, Florida, the works that form this project highlight the detrimental impact of the city’s foundational policies on racial minorities and low-income residents. Photographs and newspaper articles offer evidence of how capitalist interests lead to discrimination that inhibits lower class livelihood through poor resource distribution and inequitable criminal justice. Visual alterations of overlaying and mark making disrupt these materials, pointing to the relationship between spatial histories and written records, making Sanford’s physical and ideological construction visible.
Presenting these documents in the form of reworked compositions, varied timelines are condensed into a visual amalgamation, stressing the continued pattern of exploitation and damaging transitions that perpetuate racial-class prejudices. A constructed newspaper takeaway completes the series, provoking viewers to consider how the media we consume reinforces harmful assumptions, while encouraging their participation in the production of new histories.https://scholarship.rollins.edu/studioart_all/1014/thumbnail.jp

As time passes, Dickens becomes disillusioned with capitalism but continues to promote capitalist and bourgeois values and ideologies. The trajectory of Dickens’s views shows the difficulties in imagining different realities outside of the capitalist system
