Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The dialogue engages with the challenge of materialising absence related to the theme of migration, be it the absence of voices, documentary evidence, historical accounts, archives, investigative access, and so forth—including the absence of access to the conditions of possibility for knowing or evaluating the truth.

Migration: Editorial Introduction
- 2020
-
Ingår i: PARSE Journal. - 2002-0953. ; :10
-
Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The PARSE journal issue on Migration inquires into the embodied, affective, performative, material, visual, and spatial politics of cross-border human mobilities, through arts/design as well as migration scholars. The journal issue is an encounter between artist and migration scholars as we believe that both address and struggle with a crisis of representation when it comes to migration, which should not be confused with over-simplified discourse regarding a “crisis” of borders and migration.

Intersections Editorial
- 2020
-
Ingår i: PARSE. - 2002-0953. ; summer:11
-
Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This issue of PARSE journal concludes the theme of “Intersectional Engagements in Politics and Art”, first initiated as a research arc within PARSE in 2018. Under this theme, artists, scholars and students, as well as a wider public have gathered to share a critical exploration of the nexus of race, coloniality, gender and sexuality in contemporary art-making, scholarship and artistic research. Focusing on socially engaged practices related to memory, history, embodiment and alterity, the journal issue offers yet another set of considerations that brings together research by practitioners and scholars from a wide range of fields, disciplines and contexts. The theme began as a way to address and explore interest within arts research about the notion of intersectionality as a mode of creative practice, as well as a form of critical analysis. This interest, arguably following a turn towards the intersectional in feminist artistic practice and pedagogy, came as scholars in the humanities and social sciences were already debating the various appropriations and reifications that had seemingly made intersectionality into “a grand theory of everything”, to use Kimberlé Crenshaw’s words, with the effect of positioning intersectionality as a deeply contested, seemingly overdetermined concept.

That's Not Your Story: Faith Ringgold Publishing on Cloth
- 2020
-
Ingår i: PARSE. - 2002-0953. ; :11
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- During a public dialogue in 2019 African-American artist Faith Ringgold described her original publisher’s disappointment that the biography she had written did not recount experiences of subjugation – experiences Ringgold suspected were an expectation of her gender and race. This ‘rejection’ precipitated Ringgold’s turn to the textile as an alternative surface upon which she could publish. After hearing Ringgold recount this experience, I found a new appreciation for her story quilts, exemplified in works such as Who’s Afraid of Aunt Jemima? (1983), Slave Rape Story Quilt (1985) and The Purple Quilt (1986), which mark a particular phase in her career. The effectiveness of Ringgold’s insistence that her quilts be understood as art rather than craft remains unclear. What can be acknowledged is that these textiles provided a useful, and ultimately successful, route to publishing narratives drawn from her experience and imagination which defy the narrative expectations of her generation of black women artists and writers.

The Right to Design
- 2020
-
Ingår i: PARSE. - 2002-0953. ; :12
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- "The Right to Design is the proposal for a purposeful misreading of Arjun Appadurai’s 2006 paper, The Right to Research, Globalisation, Societies and Education. The ambition is to interrogate how the subject of design can be considered beyond current epistemic, institutional and disciplinary demarcations, not only as a basic human capacity, but as a ‘right’ in itself, which not only challenges those very structures which sorts ‘Design’ from ‘design’, but also raises urgent questions of what it might mean to be (seen & included) and act as human in a fundamentally troubled world. In the introduction to his paper Appadurai states: ‘Research is normally seen as a high-end, technical activity, available by training and class background to specialists in education, the sciences and related professional fields. It is rarely seen as a capacity with democratic potential, much less as belonging to the family of rights. In this paper, I will argue that it is worth regarding research as a right, albeit of a special kind. This argument requires us to recognise that research is a specialised name for a generalised capacity, the capacity to make disciplined inquiries into those things we need to know, but do not know yet. All human beings are, in this sense, researchers, since all human beings make decisions that require them to make systematic forays beyond their current knowledge horizons.’ The reading begins by straightforwardly replacing ‘research’ with ‘design’ within Appadurai’s text to consider the potential (‘albeit of a special kind’) of extending and stretching Appadurai’s logic of ‘rights to research’ to that of ‘rights to design’. By stretching the logic, the reading attempts to situate the question of ‘Designs’ relationship to human (and non-human) rights and to subsequently use the reading to reconsider, speculate and imagine ‘What is ’and ‘Could be’ the Right to Design? With this in mind the misreading will work with and through concepts such as de-institutionalizing, de-parochialising and de-disciplining with a particular focus on education."

Living with Contradictions
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Parse Journal. - 2002-0953. ; Intersections:11
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Until recently it has been very unusual to encounter work by artists problematising their identification with ‘whiteness’ or as the coloniser. But, in recent years research has shown ‘white’ European artists travelling to former colonies to make sense of repressed histories that continue to haunt the European consciousness. This paper considers how some ‘white’ artists highlighting European colonial entanglements are able to add to a postcolonial artistic framework. Using the examples of British artists Lindsay Seers and Miranda Pennell, who trace their own personal history and involvement in the colonial space, this paper discusses how they reimagine and reinvent family histories, highlighting uncomfortable personal relationships and bring the ghosts back to Europe. In addition, they open up a space from where works on mixed belongings and heritages and shifting identifications can be contextualised.
