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刻意利用纤维艺术过程来确立英国南亚人对塑造英国历史的贡献的重要性。研究通过颠覆纤维和纺织品在殖民活动中的积极作用来重新定义纤维和纺织品的作用，以翻译具体的种族创伤经验。在第二波女权主义实践的基础上，研究重新定位了与这些媒介相关的迭代过程，将不同的材料与破坏性的、重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本质，阐明种族创伤的逐步积累和日常种族主义的后果，以及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.
