Mapping the Unseen(the virtual Mapping)
(2022)
author(s): Katrin Ackerl Konstantin
published in: SAR Conference 2020
Mapping the Unseen investigated unseen, undiscussed topics - topics that are absent from public discourse, because of their implicit social taboo potential.
The artistic research was carried out by means of mapping, encompassing performative interventions and an interactive archive. It was realised with artists and art groups in four countries: Croatia, Iran, Bangladesh and Austria. The research method was interwoven with transdisciplinary methods. Enabling a visualisation of the respective topics and generating dialogue through participatory processes were at the core of this project.

'Empowering Collective Performing Arts: A Facilitator’s Toolkit for Overcoming Language Barriers' is a practice-led research project that explores the ways to encourage group connection through non-textual, embodied communication within diverse communities.
Drawing on work experience with immigrant children, refugees, and deaf/hearing collaborators—as well as recent research residencies with ASSITEJ Norway, The Flying Seagulls and Red Nose Emergency Smiles—the project contains a growing body of facilitation strategies as an open-source toolkit.
Rooted in my personal experience of linguistic displacement and background in voice and dance, this project proposes a shift away from text-centric facilitation models toward approaches that prioritise emotional intuition and situational awareness. The project is underpinned by critical frameworks around embodied knowledge, power, and positionality, aiming to challenge colonial and exclusionary norms around communication.
Ultimately, it seeks to empower facilitators and communities alike to trust in the expressive potential of the body and encourage inclusive, trust-based spaces for collective performing arts experiences.

In the Anthropocene, human activity is the driving force of environmental changes, such as climate change and biodiversity loss. This exposition combines visual arts and social sciences to explore what roles science can play in navigating these changes in the Westfjords, a peninsula in the Northwest of Iceland. It presents five objects to tell place-based stories about science and to identify its potential contributions to resilient and thriving human-environment relations.

This project represents more than 10 years of research about military and personal archives from the first Gulf War (1991). "RECONNAISSANCE" was the exhibition for my PhD thesis defense in 2020, both an artistic and a theoretical reflexion about images produced in conflict situation.
