Among his interests are structures that allow people to accumulate power and those which keep others from getting power, while learning from the ways people come to know, respond to and conceive of themselves within these structures. Rather than seeing art and activism as two exclusive spheres of practice, he approaches them as complimentary, drawing upon the ideas of social movements and cultural theory alike — the theorizing and practices of each informing the other.<br> <br>This has included investigations into the prison, the demise of welfare state institutions, war and disaster capitalism, documentary representations and political activism. His primary work of the past eight years is organized under the umbrella of “The Corrections Documentary Project,” which centers around the contemporary growth of prisons and their centrality to today’s economic restructuring and the politics of race.<br> <br>Hunt’s work has been screened and exhibited at the Nottingham Contemporary, the 3rd Bucharest Bienial, the Tate Modern, documenta 12, the Museum of Modern Art, the Contemporary Museum in Baltimore, the Martin Luther King Jr. Center in Atlanta, as well as numerous grassroots and community based venues throughout the U.S. Writings include, the Journal of Aesthetics and Protest (‘08, ‘07 & ‘05), Concerning Knowledge Production ('08), Art Journal (‘07), Chto Delat (‘07), Rethinking Marxism (‘06), Sandbox Magazine (‘02) and at Artwurl.org (‘03–‘05). <br><br></span></font></font><b><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;"><br>Jenna Loyd</span></font></font></b><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana"><font class="Apple-style-span" size="4"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 14px;"> is a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Place, Culture and Politics, The Graduate Center, CUNY. She is a scholar-activist whose work centers on the political geographies of violence and health. She approaches questions of racism, body politics, and the urban environment through theorizing how structural and state violence are embedded and represented in the landscape. Her first book manuscript, Freedom's Body, traces health activism of the Black freedom, women's and antiwar movements in Los Angeles during the 1960s and 1970s. Walls Cages Cities Homes is a feminist, antiracist project that examines how US regimes of mass incarceration and immigration create racially differentiated political economies, and how antiviolence and immigrant justice movements are working to create economies for living.
