FISSURES AS METAPHORES OF RESISTANCE – fragment of the video 6min

Weaving to redefine roles within a limited—and limiting—social environment. Weaving as a symbol of a woman’s domestic role to wield power that has repercussions far beyond the domestic sphere, women as authors of their own destinies, resisting social pressures, challenging and defying the expectations of those who would exert control over them.

Biography

Catalina Swinburn is an Argentinian artist born in Chile in 1979. She lives and works between Buenos Aires and London.

“Swinburn’s practice investigates through a variety of media such as video, installation, sculptures and photography and the use of materials such as paper and marble. Many of Swinburn’s process starts with performance whether utilising her own body in the work or the act of performance it the artwork’s production. This embodiment and interconnection through time, place and space allowed the artist to express the human experience.” – Maisa Al Qassimi
