We have invited one of Sweden’s most exciting textile artists Åsa Norman, to talk about her artistic practice with deep dives in three projects that combine in how they ask questions about how textiles can be considered subversive material. The lecture, which is also part of HDK-Valand’s master programme in Craft, is in English and online. Welcome!

Åsa Norman (1984), is a textile artist educated at HDK Valand Campus Steneby and at Konstfack, Stockholm. Her work deals mainly with how different female organizations and formations have been formed socially and politically throughout history, but also in the present. Her research often investigates how ways of working within the field of textile can organize acts of resistance. Her works are exhibited at, among others, Norrköpings konstmuseum, Art lab Gnesta, Rian designmuseum, Västerås konstmuseum, Gustavsbergs konsthall, Arbetarrörelsens arkiv och bibliotek och Mjellby konstmuseum.
