“Hold Your Ground” (2012) is a companion piece to the larger film work “Deep State” by Karen Mirza & Brad Butler, scripted in conjunction with the author China Miéville. It is inspired by the events of the Arab Spring, and triggered by the artists’ discovery in Cairo of a pamphlet of instructions for pro-democracy demonstrators, called ‘How to Protest Intelligently’. The combination of gestures and speech in the action of the figure is an attempt to teach a new language to the viewer.
