Firstly… is an installation and performance by Justin Randolph Thompson and Bradly Dever Treadaway that investigates subversive agendas in scholastic programming, geographic standards of violence and redemptive aspirations. The work employs lecturers in the setting of an English Language class for Italians in order to generate the re-contextualization of British English comprehension recordings of the 70's and their hierarchical dialogs around race, violence and criminality.
