Program Description

The residency offers up to five Oslo-based artists and one international resident the opportunity to work for three weeks together with Sweidan and Sarnelle on collective research and cross-disciplinary collaboration. Sarnelle and Sweidan’s work is informed by participatory, decolonial methodologies in which ‘every body’ is engaged in processes of making and knowing. Guided by thinkers such as Karen Barad, Édouard Glissant, Petra Kuppers, Erin Manning, Hortense Spillers, and Hypatia Vourloumis, Sweidan and Sarnelle use touch to feel their way through complex issues of consent, inclusion, power, entanglement, and otherness. The residency aims to bring together a diverse group of practitioners who engage with fields such as multisensorial spectatorship, environmental toxicities, queer theory, racial & disability justice, or practices of collectivity/consent.
