Guest speakers:
Anneli Bäckman is a curator at Gaaltije Museume in Östersund and co-curator of the upcoming exhibition Art and Truth-Telling opening on Friday 17th at Bildmuseet.
Julie Crawshaw is Associate Professor of Arts at Northumbria University where she is Head of the School of Design, Arts and Creative Industries. Her transdisciplinary work makes translations between art practice and the practice concerns and orientations of the social sciences and social studies of science. Her publications explicate the values of art practice/research in academia beyond the broad field of art studies or artistic research specifically. Her first monograph ‘Art Worlding: Planning Relations’ (2022) is concerned with urban and rural planning. Her second monograph (in development) is concerned with organisation studies and how artist-led practice(s) can inform this field.
Susanne Ewerlöf is an artist, curator, and PhD student in Artistic Research at HDK Valand (Gothenburg/Sweden). Her work is focused on lost ancestral knowledge among Forest Sami and other contexts where colonialism has removed a connection with the past. The project explores how fabulation and other artistic strategies may reconnect communities with erased ancestral memories and lost indigenous knowledges. Ewerlöf has a background in curating and collaborates closely with artists and communities. She holds a MRes degree in Curatorial/Knowledge from Goldsmiths University of London, as well as degrees in Culture and Media and Curating Art from Linköping and Stockholm University, respectively.
