The illusions, struggles, successes, and failures staged at the circus can expose cultural dominance and marginalization. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eNot My Circus, Not My Monkeys \u003c\/i\u003econvenes works by an international array of contemporary artists who make use of the circus motif to examine society.
