Submission to the course Individual Project Work 1, 2022 focusing on socially engaged arts practice and questions of place and communities based on the principle of more-than-human realms and art, at HDK/Valand August 2022
By Hanna Ivy Iveslätt
As my individual project this summer I have initiated a social art process in my community, that attempts to create a framework for collectively bearing witness to stories of war, migration, persecution and exile. I call it:
OUR STORIES . READ. LISTEN. WALK.
The short visual essay of 5 minutes that I submit is an abbreviated and harshly compromised version of a longer presentation of this work. The full presentation of the work is attached further down the page as optional material to watch. It’s approximately 11 minutes long. To get a better understanding of the process, it is advised to watch at the longer version. I have further attached, also as optional material, a link to the full readings of approximately 9 hours, to further get a glimpse of the full process.
