A Bunch of Questions with No Answers is a record of the questions posed by journalists to the US State Department during press briefings between Oct 3, 2023 and the end of the Biden administration about the ongoing genocide in Palestine. As the endless demands for clarification and accountability were repeatedly met with convoluted evasions, the artists chose to edit them out.
