Grafikens Hus has received three-year support from the Swedish Arts Council to research and explore print and graphic collections in Sweden and internationally through a postcolonial and intersectional perspective. Together with artists and other experts, we want to investigate and formulate a vision for how a museum, like Grafikens Hus, can build a collection, with activation and accessibility. How can a collection become a meeting place for open and honest dialogue? How can it become a place for learning and innovative conversations? We want to investigate the history of the collection\/archive in different ways and investigate what it means to collect today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process leader and curator of the project is Macarena Dusant. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Questioning, Investigating, Looking Back<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\n

The first year of the project is dedicated to investigating collecting as a practice. We do this in collaboration with experts, artists and institutions that have collections. Additionally, we acquire knowledge that can help us make our own collection an inclusive place, consisting of a myriad of stories. Lastly, through the film series Ett talande arkiv<\/em>, we look back at Grafikens Hus\u2019s history and past collection. <\/p>\n\n\n
