Event
Book Launch: String Figures
Free admission, in English
String figures have been studied as an aesthetic practice, collected as artifacts, and considered as a non-Western way of thinking. Looking at ways of playing together on the ruins of our history, the book brings together these different threads and weaves connections between world regions and disciplines in order to re:search, re:define and re:signify the past and present of a beautiful and complex cultural practice.
Speakers: Seraina Dür and Jonas Gillmann, Ute Holl, Robyn McKenzie, and Nasser Mufti.
