About
Feminist Pest Control is a collaborative social practice art project, a collection and archive of technologies, artworks, and performances, that vacillates between virtual, speculative, playful, satirical, impossible, utopian, and contradictory. Feminist Pest Control argues that infestation is a structural violence that art has the power to help ameliorate. In so doing, the project offers concrete tools for aiding with infestations, individual consultations to help with the social and mental aspects of infestation, and strategies to detangle pest-related prejudices towards humans that have been compared to pest animals as well as to nonhumans who have been relegated to the role of disposable matter.
