Our guest in this episode is curator, author, and educator Ana Devic. She is best known as a member of the curatorial collective What, How and for Whom (WHW). Formed in 1999, WHW is an exemplary case in the history of curatorial studies.Ana Devic is also in charge of the international study program for young artists called WHW Akademija based in Zagreb. With Ana, we'll further our exploration into other modes of engaging with artistic practice and hear about other possibilities, within and through art and politics. Her take on collectivity, as a spark rather than a value in and of itself; her emphasis on encounters and accessibility, and formal and informal modes of learning were really thought-provoking.EPISODE NOTES AND LINKSThis episode's conversation is part of the collaborative project ‘Communities of Learning, Bridging the Gap of Isolation', initiated by WHW and supported by the Culture of Solidarity Fund of the European Cultural Foundation.Ana Devic is a curator, writer, and teacher Ana Dević and a member of the curatorial collective What, How and from Whom (WHW). https://www.whw.hr/novosti/index.html#Formed in 1999, the curatorial collective What, How and for Whom (WHW) is an exemplary case in the history of curatorial studies. They were one of the pioneer groups who were influential in saving curatorial practice from going obsolete in a moment in which author curators (often white and male) reluctant to operate in plural forms were dominating the field of contemporary art. It's members are Ivet Ćurlin, Ana Dević, Nataša Ilić, Sabina Sabolović and designer and publicist Dejan Kršić. Based in Zagreb, WHW Academija is an international study program for young artists.

In this episode, Francesca Recchia is in conversation with Sandi Hilal on her project “The Living Room.” Reflecting on her experiences with refugees in Boden, North Sweden, Dr Hilal speaks of the passivity and agency of refugee lives and cultures as they navigate the manifestly European distinctions of the public and private space. How do refugees see themselves as political subjects who are in the position to demand and transform the societies they have become a part of? What stake do they have in these conversations? How does art open new and radical forms of transformative collectivity that focus on the multiplicity of cultures that refugees have? For Hilal, hosting and the extension of hospitality to strangers create a self-representational space where refugees can practice and shape their own agency. Sandi Hilal is an architect, artist and educator, whose practice is both theoretically ambitious and practically engaged in the struggle for justice and equality. She is the Co-Director of DAAR, Decolonizing Architecture Art Research, an architectural and art collective that she co-founded in 2007 with Alessandro Petti and Eyal Weizman, in Beit Sahour, Palestine. She is now Lise Meitner Visiting Professor at the Department of Architecture and Built Environment in Lund University.

Att påverka en plats genom konst - om ett rivningshotat kulturhus i Jordbro och att synliggöra flyktingarnas gästfrihet i Boden. Lyssna på den första delen i P1 Kulturs reportageserie Konsten är på väg att bliva allas. Alla delarna i reportageserien hittar du under artikeln Kulturministern har varit i Jordbro i Haninge och invigt Konst händer-festivalen. Och åkt hem igen. Kvar är en lysande näsa utanför det rivningshotade Kultur- och föreningshuset i centrum. Konst händer, så heter Statens Konstråds regeringssatsning i 15 miljonprogramsområden under 2016-2018 där man vänt på beställarprocessen och låtit civilsamhället söka med platser att påverka genom konst. Konstnärerna har kopplats in i ett senare skede. Vilka frågor är det då som konsten ska svara på? Fanns det ett krav uppifrån att göra något positivt? "Många ansökningar handlade om platser där man kan mötas utan att vara konsument", säger Lena Fromm, projektchef för Konst händer på Statens Konstråd. "Många påtalar bristen på trygghet och att man vill synliggöra och lyfta sin plats." "Vi var nog ovanligt bångstyriga", säger Göran Lidbrink från Jordbro världsorkester, som var den som skrev ansökan, från början för att rädda det rivningshotade Kultur- och föreningshuset i centrum. "Vi är ju ett producerande kulturhus", säger Justina Meyer från Blå vägen. Flera konstnärer har kommit och gått under Konst händer-arbetet i Jordbro där man kämpat för att få arbeta med lokala konstnärer och skapa kollektivt. Den palestinska arkitekten Sandi Hilal arbetar i Boden tillsammans med Yasmeen Mahmoud och Ibrahim Haj Abdulla med att expandera ett vardagsrum i asylboendet på Prästholmen i Boden till en offentlig plats för hela staden, och därigenom vända på begreppen gäst och värd. "Jag synliggör bara något som Yasmeen och Ibrahim ändå gör", säger Sandi Hilal. "Deras gästfrihet får genom konsten en ny dimension." Lyssna på Katarina Wikars reportage i ljudlänken ovan
