Satire is conceptualised as culturally charge, holding potentially powerful effects and impact. satire as painting provokes critical reflection on authorities, tackles values, dogmas, and taboos, disturbs power relations, and plays with cultural forms and identities. Bad news is seemingly everywhere, the is the place were satire exists. my practice utilises the codes of satire: analogy, parody, subversion, and irony, and realised through graphic elements; signs symbols, and icons, to apportion strength of meaning in my work through the lens of critique and entertainment.

Språktap er en vanlig konsekvens av okkupasjon, fordriving og flukt. I Halo of Shame utforsker Shwan Dler Qaradaki hvordan den politiske undertrykkelsen av kurdisk – hans morsmål - har formet hans kunstneriske praksis. Med inspirasjon fra både vestlig klassisk kunst og islamsk miniatyrkunst skaper han et visuelt uttrykk som balanserer mellom øst og vest, fortid og nåtid, objekt og subjekt. Gjennom dette arbeidet utvikler han et dekolonialt bildespråk som kan romme de komplekse lagene av identitet, erfaring og motstand.

Le dessein intelligent est le mot à la mode des créationnistes des années 2000 qui concerne l’interprétation idéologique de la machine et des données. Ici, la question est celle des ressemblances religieuses prescrites, pour lesquelles le débat sur le dessein intelligent emprunte aux données non corporelles pour projeter des incorporations fictives à l’information, en présumant des mentales de similitude, sinon d’exactitude, qui pourraient donner lieu à une création religieuse prescrite.

Cet article s’appuie sur une approche psychanalytique et culturelle des idéologies et de l’économie-politique dans les constructions de vérité et les récits autour des lieux et des événements concernant les identités ethniques, religieuses et nationales, et propose une opinion interdisciplinaire sur les récits de vérité des psycho-réalités culturelles formées autour des parcs, des lieux monumentaux et des génocides en Turquie. Cette opinion porte sur le complexe, le concours du profane et du sacré, pour lequel l’article présente une interprétation détaillée du matériel/mondain et du religieux/au-delà. Les symptômes dans les lieux monumentaux en Turquie, parc culturel à Izmir et Parc Gezi et Sainte-Sophie à Istanbul, révèlent les mythes inhabituels encodés dans ces lieux, génocides, complexes et leurs liens avec les textes culturels d’aujourd’hui. Le réseau de la réalité informe les symptômes conscients et inconscients autour des parcs, des musées, des places ou des lieux monumentaux en Turquie et au-delà.

This research project explores how theatre can contribute to democratic engagement. The starting point was artistic probes investigating aspects of democracy: participation, deliberation and inclusion. The probes resulted in three productions presented at theatre institutions in Sweden. In Skapa Demokrati (Creating Democracy), participation was promoted by encouraging the audience members to create a democracy together. The performance thus allowed participants to experience a democratic process by actively engaging in the making of a constitution. In Öva Demokrati (Practicing Democracy), deliberation was in focus. The performance allowed the audience to deliberate on suggestions for strengthening Swedish democracy. Through methods inspired by political science, the audience was invited to speak and listen to arguments for the different proposals. In the performance, they were also presented with a variety of ways of voting to illustrate how different electoral systems can encourage engagement and give minorities a chance to be heard. In Monument, different strategies were used to promote inclusion. The project started with the idea that monuments say something about society. The monuments were used as vehicles to include voices from the residents of Helsingborg. The artwork presented these different experiences through a multi-perspective script. Other outreach activities also helped enable inclusion. Narrative analysis for theatre was used to reflect on these probes, allowing for a deeper understanding of how performances were conceptualised and structured, and how they made meaning for the audience. Lastly, the performance Ibsendekonstruktion II: Brand was written and staged to reflect on how the research has changed the artistic practice. The research has resulted in strategies for inclusion and a novel theatre format, the conversational theatre, which encourages participation and deliberation. These outcomes provide the theatre with methods to be in dialogue with society.
