In Enmeshed, artists Julia Holderness, Areez Katki, Erica van Zon, Ana Iti, and Claudia Kogachi each reframe narratives. Stories are rewritten from new perspectives, engaging with plurality, temporality, and embodiment – principles that reject a chronological or linear approach. Archival truths are questioned, and personal histories are entwined with fictions.
Engaging with narratives born from archives, films, popular culture and personal histories, these artists retell their chosen stories from a feminist perspective. They critique the frameworks taken for granted as being ‘neutral’ by challenging prescribed structures of organising knowledge, and in doing so, show that how we organise and share knowledge is just as important as the knowledge itself.
