Shifting Sands., Rachid Tagoulla
Shifting Sands., Rachid Tagoulla
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Shifting Sands is a re-exploration of the presentation of North Africans in colonial postcards, an examination of identity, and a critique of the modern Western museum.

Shifting Sands is a series of reconstructed colonial postcards which challenges colonial-era stereotypes of North African peoples. The colonial gaze, represented by the camera lens, is subverted through a lensless image-making process in which sand is used to remove the subject from the colonial gaze and …

Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Plastic products are convenient, abundant and our use of them has become routine. This acceptance of
plastics’ presence has become a dogma that most humans adhere to. The continual consumption of
these single-use plastics in our daily lives has unknowingly shaped our environmental consciousness,
behaviors, and justification for them. This belief in plastics function has been strategically developed by
companies that rely on our behaviors to distribute their products. Humans have become the faithful
consumers of these goods and this belief. The brain and its ability to remain plastic and develop
decision-making skills are known as Myelination. New experiences enhance …

In this body of work, all forms of material configurations are understood as animated and agential and as different representations of the same substance that are only formally diverse.
