On Love and Critique panel discussion took place at the Complex Complicities seminar in Stockholm MDT during 30–31 May 2022.
Where is the line between love and critique? How does the white gaze affect art critique? What is the position of a critic – do they need to distance themselves or is it okay to come closer? What exactly is a critics job? What is the relationship between an artist and a critic?
The seminar was part of Bridges, a project designed to strengthen sustainable and long-term Nordic collaboration in the realms of antiracist and intersectionally feminist practices. The project is funded by Nordic Culture Point and produced by UrbanApa in collaboration with HAUT, MDT, CODA and Black Box Theater.
The panelists: Ashik Zaman, Lydia Östberg Diakité & Valerie Kyeyune Backström
The moderator: Samuel Girma
