CapMetro’s “Try Transit” presentation covers the many benefits and services of Central Texas’ premier public transportation system, as well as how to use it. From a variety of buses to trains, bikes, mobile apps, and more, CapMetro offers many ways to get around. Central Texan’s regularly support public transportation, but unfamiliarity is often a barrier for those who might benefit from it.

“With Candid Indifference and Finality of Tone” intermingles the Texan infrastructure with the body to explore American healthcare brokenness. Larkin draws parallels to collective loss and healthcare disproportionality through personal experiences with grief and chronic illness. The imagery invokes sensations of spatial occlusions, construction sites, industrial catastrophes, and unreliable memories. Our bodies, cut off from access when sick, are like the particularities of our environments, where one works in less than ideal conditions - under invisible powers. Larkin asks: what happens when an insurance entity can, with candid indifference and finality of tone, dictate the path and extent of your life?
