Konstfack University of Arts Craft and Design is Sweden's largest art college with a specialization in art, design and crafts. In 2022, Konstfack was granted the right to issue degrees at postgraduate level - this has enabled the development of its own postgraduate education on an artistic basis. This development along with faulty research time and a post masters in research in CRAFT! has created a robust research environment in relation to craft and its expanded meanings.

The "Body as Measure" seminar presents an exploration into a range of themes such as the performative and transdisciplinary nature of craft and jewellery practices and the physicality involved in making and wearing. The seminar is set against the backdrop of contemporary socio-political biases, where the body has increasingly become a focal point of aggressive marketing strategies and a resource exploited for labour within the global economy. Could the material-based art and craft practices, originating from and centred around the body, offer a refreshing perspective on the body's role in today's society?
