living room studio is an alternative space for co-authored learning, making, and thinking.
currently based in Switzerland, our work began in 2024 as a communal inquiry for creative research at the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts, Harvard University.
we make living room as an act of archival activation, relational worldmaking, and critical curiosity.
our pedagogy
archival activation
teachings that sustain engagement with intellectual ancestors across time + space

w.1.5 making living room
date: may 30th at 18:00 CET | duration: 2.5 hours
from the familiar to the abstract, the concept of “living room” has long traversed cultural + linguistic boundaries. inspired by poems from June Jordan’s 1985 book Living Room, we will consider the domestic sphere as a geo-political center for speculative possibilities. reflections on gendered associations; rhetorics to justify land grabs + settlements; aesthetic + social ideals. how does the domestic move within + beyond the home as a form of civic engagement?
thinking-with: June Jordan, Ruth Asawa, Tracey Emin, Mierle Laderman Ukeles
