"My piece, Appetite for Destruction, explores the role of ideology in social practice. By investigating the embedded but often overlooked content of the ubiquitous reception table, I will stage an encounter where the expectations of interaction are unknown and uncertain. My piece will pose the question: Do the ideological assumptions of contemporary social practice limit the goal of individual empowerment? Ultimately, does power only grow out of the—metaphorical or actual—barrel of a gun?" - July 24, 2011
