See Something Say Something 2018

Authorities in the United States have urged citizens to look out for potential terrorist attacks with the phrase “see something; say something.” Citizens are encouraged to report suspicious looking behavior or persons to the authorities. Constant reminders of the possibility of terrorist attacks have the effect of breeding a certain amount of paranoia and fear among the population. This also increases the probability that people will engage in profiling of those they have been conditioned to believe look like terrorists. My performance will consist of photographic self-portraits (Mugshots) in which I will be playing the role of the suspicious-looking person in question. I will take a self-portrait dressed in a niqab, a hijab, a Sikh turban, Hoody and other items that many Americans may identify as “suspicious.”
