In White children emerge from every nook and cranny of the city, carrying animals of pure white or black. They weave through alleyways, march across a bridge and finally congregate in the desert under a white banner. With solemnity they consult a blank piece of paper for direction and leave us to speculate about the meaning of their journey. Could this tribe of white represent innocence, possibility, imagination, or be a metaphor for a new political order?
