We live in a world of oppositional views, but what narratives are missing from our communities when we choose to ignore other perspectives? A List of Antagonisms is a public project that collects and frames opposing viewpoints on a range of issues present in various places. The project offers a series of positions that represent different, and often times conflicting, perspectives authored by the community itself. The first iteration of this work took place in Hamilton in 2018.
