Thinking Difference: a reimagination of British South Asian identity through re-enactments of second-wave feminist activist practices

这项以实践为主导的研究有意利用纤维艺术工艺来确立英国南亚在塑造英国历史方面的贡献的重要性。研究通过颠覆纤维和纺织品在殖民活动中的积极作用，将种族创伤的具体经历转化为现实，从而重新界定了纤维和纺织品的作用。在第二波女权主义实践研究的基础上，重新定位与这些媒介相关的迭代过程，将不同的材料与破坏性的、反复的行动融合在一起，以挑战殖民遗产。关键目标包括揭露种族偏见的反复性质，阐明种族创伤的逐步积累和日常种族主义的后果，以及在这个边缘化社区的身份差异。

This practice-led research deliberately utilizes fibre art processes to establish the significance of British South Asian contribution in shaping British history. Research reconceptualizes the agency of fibres and textiles by subverting their active role in colonial activities to translate embodied experiences of racial trauma. Building upon second-wave feminist practices research reorientates iterative processes linked to these mediums to fuse diverse materials with disruptive, repeated actions to challenge colonial legacies. Crucial objectives include exposing the iterative nature of racial bias, articulating the progressive build-up of racial trauma and ramifications of everyday racism, and differencing on identity in this marginalised community.
