Public Talk ”Sisterhood as an artistic strategy”

Sisters of Jam was founded in 2008 by artists Moa and Mikaela Krestesen. They work with interdisciplinary artistic research based projects using multiple media – photography, video, drawing, installation and text – in an ongoing investigation of community, sisterhood, historiography and continuity.

They aim to create a feminist dialogue over generations and geographies, that is both virtual and allegorical; that reaches backwards and forwards and at the same time tells us something new. Sisters of Jam look back in feminist history and re actualize the deeds, thoughts and aspirations of earlier generations of sisters and female colleagues, like adding to a patchwork.

Using collaborative work methods they wish to overcome boundaries of genres and become wider, greater and stronger.

56 Artillery Lane at Raven Row Gallery, London May 27 2017

Proud to be part of the program alongside of the exhibition "56 Artillery Lane" at Raven Row galley, London. For this exhibition ‘home’ is imagined as a space for social, sexual and political agency, and the 'domestic’ as a stage on which kinship and self are formed and transformed through acts of love, cruelty and indifference. Sisters of Jam will participate in the event "A Piece of Land: Alternative communities and living" presenting our project Kate Millett Farm and a screening of our video "It takes a million years to be a woman". Curators: Amy Budd & Naoimi Pearce. More info!

9 / 3 2016 at Örebro Konsthall, moderator: Hanna Lekander.

Text in Swedish: Systerskapet som konstnärlig strategi. I ett öppet samtal med konstnärerna och systrarna Moa och Mikaela Krestesen i deras utställning Kate Millett Farm på Örebro konsthall, lyfts frågor som kollektiva arbetsmetoder, om att arbeta tillsammans i motsats till ”det konstnärliga geniet”. I systrarnas konstnärliga arbete växer ett projekt under längre tid utan ett förutbestämt avslut. Intresset riktas mot att mötas över generationer och vikten av systerskapets nätverk över tid. Historieskrivning kopplas till feminism där ”re-makes” ingår som en konstnärlig strategi för att öppet lyfta föregångare in i samtiden och föra en dialog med historien.
