Marginalized in/visibilities
Interventions in, through and beyond text
(Written) text has a powerful influence on frames of public reception
and debate, as it can make certain positions visible and others
invisible. Especially printed and published texts are considered to be
important arbiters of facts and conveyors of knowledge. However, this
narrating and sharing of knowledge often happens at the expense of
positions that are outside the norm, especially with regard to race,
gender and sexuality.
This project is based on the assumption that we need to engage a broader
notion of what text/language is and how it works that goes beyond a
narrowly defined textual, literal level. It is aimed at the question of
how in/visibilities can be challenged by working with text and language
visually and by using strategies from the field of conceptual art. By
doing so, I seek to test, shift and shape paradigms of narrative control
and the dissemination of knowledge.
