UNSTAGED is a lens-based space for inquiries into comforting and discomforting authenticity. Positioned between visual culture and critical inquiry, it gathers visual artists willing to linger in the frictions and expose their ways of seeing. Founded by Arek Ratai, who works at the intersection of photography, design, and perceptual inquiry, he asks what still feels real when things begin to fail, and what remains of us when perception no longer holds together.
