Vancouver's Subjects of History Collective (Laura June Albert, mia susan amir, Alexa Solveig Mardon, Veronique West) presents an interactive glimpse into early development of The time it takes me to get to you: a transdisciplinary, audience immersive performance exploring the connection between co-presence and the rise of contemporary fascism.
