can the word “versus(vs.)” be used when listing relationships?












0















I have a question regarding the use of the term "versus".



Can it be used in this way? or should I keep saying "A and B"?
the exhibition deals with the correlative relationships between minorities vs. majors, peripheries vs. centres, and human vs. non-human beings.



thank you for your help in advance.
