Making Art Work: Articulating Art and Urban mMarginality in Kisumu, Kenya
If you would like to join the Zoom session, please contact s.burri@unibas.ch.
Frederik Unseld is a PhD candidate at the Institute of Social Anthropology at University Basel. In his research, Frederik explores the claim of the supposedly inherent creativity of city life in the Global South. His research approaches individual artists with ethnographic research methods and describes their art as intimately connected with other livelihood strategies. Taking the situative challenges that arise in the everyday of artists as a starting point, this talk reflects on the efficacy of artists in Kisumu’s social space and on how we may harness creativity from marginal locations.
