Tools for the Times.

Tools for the Times is a student-teacher led initiative supported by the HKU BA Fine Art, BA Fine Art and Design in Education, MA Fine Art, and alumni. We work on tools and strategies, as well as encouraging engagement on how we – as participants within the HKU - can practice inclusivity. How can we make the academy more sensitive towards diverse voices, minds and bodies in contexts of education and administration? We support existing initiatives at the art academy. We reach out to external advisers and aim to think and work through our own educational-institutional structures. This helps us to find more inclusive ways of relating to each other. Tools for the Times comes from a history of various experiences of discrimination and casual racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, etc and some violently xenophobic actions that took place within the walls of the institution in the school year of 2018-2019. These actions were in response to a discussion group around the topic of Zwarte Piet.

  1. Artist statement; wat is je specialisme, wat maakt jouw werk uniek?

    Text by Menno Vuister.
    "

    Megan Auður

    With her divergent installation works, Megan Auður explores strategies and tactics of institutional structures. Always politically minded to a degree, Auður’s works seek to question how the world finds itself in the state it is today by rejecting and redeveloping institutionalised realities. Auður’s works are not just the end result of long research trajectories, they are also part of the artist’s ongoing research. As such, her works are propositions towards dialogue and intervention, hoping to make the world a better place."
