I Dress, Therefore I Disrupt:  Fashion as Aesthetic Strategy in Post-Migratory Visual Practice (conceptual essay), 2025

21 cm x 29.7 cm

6 pages first draft framed with highlighting its provisional and processual character. Framed in an oak frame.

As part of the exhibition, I developed a conceptual essay based on research conducted during my residency in Vaasa, Finland. The essay considers dressing as a form of disruption and resistance within migration and visibility politics.

Installed as an independent work, a framed first draft of the essay was presented on the wall. Beside it, a separate sculptural installation held a limited edition of printed copies available only during the exhibition.

By limiting circulation, the work resisted unrestricted access and instead situated the essay within an intimate encounter shaped by presence and context. In this way, it questioned who has access to knowledge, under what conditions, and through which forms of distribution.
