Ashley Hunt

Ashley Hunt is interested in how images, objects, maps, writing, and performance can engage social ideas and actions, including those of social movements, daily life, the exercise of political power, and the disciplinary boundaries that separate our art worlds from the larger worlds in which they sit. 

His work looks to structures that allow people to accumulate power, and those which keep others from getting it, while learning from the ways people come to know, contribute to, or resist these structures. 

Rather than seeing art and activism as two exclusive spheres of practice, he approaches them as mutual and complimentary--drawing upon the ideas and aesthetics of social movements, cultural theory, and art alike, the theorizing and practices of each informing the other.
