November / December 2023

This residency period involved a four week stay with the Tampere Art Museum, Finland, under the 2023 AiR on the Edge programme.

In order to develop new material and working methods, an existing social practice was embedded within a new context and environment, which demanded a reflection of groundwork-considerations.

The self chosen research thematic centred on the abstraction and reclamation of economics, whereby intimate encounters where exchanged in particular with the city centre NGO Kölvi.

The working method included dialogical engagements, committing time, and highly context specific workshops on exchange, reciprocity and the migrant as gift-giver.
