Containing Toxicity

Submitted by Jradams1 on

As a visual anthropologist, I am interested in exploring the aesthetics of toxicity across a range of environmental and political contexts. What are cross-cultural and culturally specific visual conventions for representing and conveying toxicity? How do we come to visually apprehend toxicity? How too does the visual work with other sensory modes through which we apprehend and confront toxicity?
