This thematic thread presents experiments, exercises, and reflections stemming from a two-day collaborative, practice-led workshop with ‘poetic resonance’.
Minke Nouwens
Minke Nouwens is a passionate explorer of the spaces where anthropology and the arts overlap. She combines anthropological ethnography, poetry, and analog photography to investigate the cultural politics of the ‘creativity industries’ with a focus on how design professionals are affected in their everyday work practices. Recent publications have explored the affective intensities of urban spaces with a poem in American Ethnologista; critiqued the worlding effects of creativity models in Danish makerlabs in a special issue with Ateliers d’anthropologie; analyzed the methodological approaches in Human-Computer Interaction and Design to the study of design ideas at Design Research Society; and discussed the potential of micro-phenomenological interviewing to probe inner lifeworld experiences of creativity for CHI. Next to her individual research, Minke actively participates in collaborative projects, including the Anthropology and the Arts EASA network, Experimenting, Experiencing, Reflecting, Theatre from the Field, the Situated Art, Design, and Technology research group at CARADT, and Summer Sessions.
