The exhibition and ideas offered in this book falls within a long discourse on the sociocultural conditions embedded in different spaces, institutional and otherwise. The concept of “other spaces” was inspired by the philosophy of Michel Foucault, specifically his 1967 essay Of Other Spaces, Heterotopias.

Foucault’s essay is reprinted in this book.
