Undisciplined: Crafting Conversations

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?

Continuing the live event ‘Body As Measure,’ which explores the presence and role of the body within craft-based practices, Undisciplined, in collaboration with the Czech Centre Stockholm, connects two emerging jewellery artists: Lovisa Hed from Sweden and Anna Rusínová from Czechia. They will present their work and discuss the importance of the body, its manifold forms, or its absence within their practices and in digital space.

Lovisa Hed empathetically explores human emotions, guided by heavy and uncomfortable subjects, and seeks to fill the gaps where words are not enough through object- and jewellery-based expressions. Anna Rusínová stretches the boundaries of the human physical form, creating objects that can be viewed as an organic extension of the body or as its new cohabitants.
