$DOMESTICATION SYNDROME Curated by @amalyamegerman Capitalism domesticates everyone within it who isn’t a power-broker. When animals are domesticated, they exhibit a consistent set of traits: white spots, floppy ears, reduced aggression response, smaller jaws, brains, and snouts. In becoming a more “useful” animal whose every trait is molded to suit human needs, they become more dependent and infantilized. We tend to think of domestication as a process humans impose on animals to make them more useful to us, but what we often miss is how through capitalism, those of us without power are undergoing a “domestication” of sorts ourselves. Together the works presented in Domestication Syndrome speak to how our bodies, minds and behaviors are atomized, essentialized, and manipulated, often painfully, for exploitation. We are de-fanged, our freedoms limited, our identities and communities fractured, and our abilities to amass political power hindered.
