Allison Smith & Christina Zetterlund in Conversation

You Can Earn 10 Tokens for Attending This Event!

Allison Smith’s collaboration with Christina Zetterlund, Models for a System, looks at craft and design history to explore issues of inclusion, exclusion, and hierarchies of power. Smith first met Zetterlund during a 2015 residency in Stockholm, and together they discovered a shared interest in the politics of handcraft and its role in both progressive and conservative social movements in which a “return” to past forms of making is often tied to populist notions of self-reliance and opting out of “the system.” They ask, given the intensities of this political moment, what does the current upsurge in craft really mean? The objects on display were selected for their potentially multiple readings, suggesting the ways craft functions today within both fundamentalist survivalist groups as well as hipster DIY culture simultaneously.
