Entanglements South–North. Shared Authorship; Co-Creation; Bioart

The collection of eight textiles titled Entanglements South-North (2022) are entangled in a dialogue that seeks to explore how the arts can play a role in social change, especially when margins are continually moved to elicit new spaces for transformation.For example, a printed fabric design process involves many translations, moving from analogue to digital, and back. Translating collected data (arctic raw materials: reindeer blood, drawings, photos) via a digital software into colours, images and patterns (point, lines, surfaces), and planting them in a digital environment, then making these digital images material again through printing. What do we gain and lose in these translations?
