The next guest in the Ignored Technology lecture series will be Maja Gunn, an artist, designer and researcher at Konstfack, Stockholm. In her talk, she will focus on the performative aspects of textiles and clothing as social actors. The lecture will be held in English.
The lecture explores how textiles and clothing, through performative practices, co-create social structures and identities – in public spaces, communities, and archives. Drawing on Maja Gunn’s artistic practice and research, the analogue and material are situated within a broader social context, extending from exhibitions and parties to museum collections.
Maja Gunn is an artist, designer, curator, and researcher based in Stockholm, Sweden. She is a Professor of Crafts with a focus on textiles at Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design.
