Beyond the Frame is an exhibition presenting a selection of recent projects by SITU Research, a visual investigations practice based in Brooklyn, New York. The exhibition is organized by their approach to human rights and environmental justice through spatial studies and analysis across multiple scales—from the effects of a 6oz (40mm) tear gas canister on protesters to the impact of centuries-long mining in the Peruvian Andes of Cerro de Pasco.

In conjunction with the exhibition's opening, Brad Samuels AR'05, a founding partner of SITU, and Gauri Bahuguna, a computational designer and research at SITU, will speak about their work on October 27th.
