On November 10th, we had the pleasure to host Elpida Karaba, art theorist, independent curator and member of our selection committee for the weekly Zoom meeting with our Fellows. Through her personal archaeology, Elpida discussed her practice and her focus on the relationship between art and systems of knowledge, archival art, art in the public domain and performative and activist practices in the arts. Among others, she talked about her involvement in the Centre of New Media and Feminist Public Practices and the Temporary Academy of Arts (PAT), a hybrid of artistic, curatorial and educational practice.
How does one professional claim his/her field of action? For Elpida this is a matter of discursive exchange and position taking.
