In Independent People, Blessy Augustine explores artworks that she considers disruptive and emancipatory, works that question power while disengaging from authority. The common theme that runs through them is the tenuous relationship between labour, freedom, and democracy—at the core of which is an attempt to recognize our own agency. The artists discussed are: Baltensperger + Siepert, Wachter & Jud, Ursula Biemann, and Roland Roos.
