Curating Craft: Body As Measure

Seminar • 2 October 2024 • Kulturhuset Stadsteatern

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?

Watch the recorded seminar in four parts.

Part 1. Anders Ljungberg & Bella Neyman

Part 3. Anna Mlasowsky & Yuka Oyama

Part 2. Lauren Kalman & Matt Lambert

Part 4. Panelsamtal
