Beschreibung
Creating textiles, as Catherine Dormor highlights in A Philosophy of Textile, can itself be a form of resistance. Knitting, crocheting, and embroidery have long served as ways to express dissent, disrupt routines, and challenge the status quo — their power lies in the sense of community they generate.
In this course, our focus will be on how students can engage in art research. We will explore various topics in the field of critical textile-based art, such as art historical perspectives, politically engaged art, feminist and queer viewpoints. Students will also receive guidance on how to incorporate these concepts into their own work, with discussions on the distinctions between quotation, homage, reflection, and appropriation.
Craft as an Act of Resistance: The Empowering Role of Community
Exploring the transformative potential of craft as a form of resistance, with a focus on collective power and community-driven practices.
Defining Anger: Emotion or Action?
Fran Lebowitz: “Anger is I have no power, but I am filled with opinions.”
Women, Textiles, Art: Hobby or High Art
Examining the intersection of gender, textile arts, and their place within the broader art world, questioning the boundaries between craftsmanship, creativity, and artistic value.
Uniforms and Fashion: Heterotopia, Dystopia, and Utopia
Investigating the relationship between uniforms and fashion in the context of societal structures, exploring themes of heterotopia, dystopian and utopian visions.
Machines and Textiles: The Intersection of Theory and Practice
Analyzing the evolving relationship between machine technology and textile production, with a focus on both theoretical frameworks and practical applications.
Organic Structures: More-than-Human Perspectives
Delving into the concept of organic structures through a more-than-human lens, considering ecological and non-human factors in design and construction.
