Visualising Affect
co-curated with Polly Card
8 - 10 July, 2013
Visualising Affect provides a compelling argument for an aesthetic engagement with affect and offers an insight into the ways in which social research remains concerned with the role and possibilities of feeling.
The exhibition brings together works of art from different countries and from a range of disciplines. The artists, film makers and sociologists tackle issues that resonate across South Africa, Switzerland, Germany, Greece, South Korea, the UK, Bolivia.They force a holding together and a dismantling of the affects that we bring to 'crude' categories – to borrow Yasmin Gunaratnam's word – of race, gender and sexuality.
