- This multicomponent output explores ways in which the notion of change and displacement is negotiated through photography, in a research project that crosses the boundaries between practice and curation. Two parallel installations entitled Home or Four Seasons at 258 Βήτα and The House Husband aid this process through the visual narration of household rituals, practiced within and beyond the context of the home. Such connotations are closely linked with gender performativity through the act of sheet-folding; a practice-led conduct of simultaneous "construction of identity” (Given, 2014) and a form of placemaking. The research imperative positions this enquiry within the territory of such curatorial approach by developing a practicing context, or in other words “a poetics of dwelling” (Ingold, 2000, p.11) constructed through a parallel viewing experience of the two projects, which conveys a displaced sense of belonging. This body of work has been reviewed in Carla Cesare’s (2020) essay Playing the domestic: a gendered performance and has also been disseminated in a number of exhibitions. Initially at Doctoring the evidence, #1:10 CITIES at Square Yard Gallery at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, 2015; and, Doctoring the evidence #2: HAAGS BAKKIE? a research event at the Student Hotel, The Hague, 2016. The two events developed by the All Maps Welcome postdoctoral research group, represent a type of shared social space that crosses the boundaries of geo-cultural dislocation by suggesting a form of “like-mindedness” (Dewey, 1966), which brings together individuals from different parts of the world to carry on together. The project has also informed collaborations including Synomilies (Kolaiti, P. and Kapantais, E.) in Greece, 2016 and Petra: poetry on stage (Kolaiti, P. and Leontzakos, D.) in Thessaloniki International Book Fair in Greece, 2017.
