In conjunction with Allison Smith’s exhibition The Fort, Christina Zetterlund will talk about history never being neutral from the point of arts and crafts. In a time when certain forces wish to turn back the clock by invoking cultural, national and economic arguments of dubious nature, the ghost of history is ever more present and shows that there is an intimate connection between the now and then in the making of contemporary as well as historical subjects.
Christina Zetterlund is Professor at the Department of Design, Crafts and Arts at Konstfack.
The talk will be held in Swedish.
