“Untitled #1 ‘ (mixed media collage), by Margaret Hart, in her show “Situated Becomings,’’ at Kingston Gallery, Boston, through October.

She explains: “Imagine a cyborg collage: a becoming of gender possibilities, an image depicting fragments of technology, organic parts and hints of human gender forms through the spaces imaged or the objects included. What is collage and what could it be, beyond a simple form of cut-and-paste image making, when focused on the issue of gender in this posthuman era?’’

“These works began from asking myself a question: How can collage, intersecting with fiction and feminism, contribute to a posthuman understanding of gender?’’
