A Bunch of Questions with No Answers is a record of the questions posed by journalists to the US Department of State during press briefings between Oct 3, 2023, and the end of the Biden administration concerning US policy in Palestine. As persistent calls for clarity and accountability were met with evasions and omissions, the artists chose to edit them out. What takes center stage after their removal are thousands of questions that serve as a critical document of this period and a collective portrait of the journalists.
