This article explores the concept of ritual as a means of disorder and radical connection. The author discusses the work of four artists - Anna Fidler, Julie Chang, Marie Watt, and Anna Von Mertens - who engage in repetitive practices to challenge dominant categories and reimagine stories about value, fear, love, and care. Fidler's art reminds viewers of the wildness and magic of the world, Chang's paintings explore the idea of amulets and ritual, Watt's work makes relationships visible that are often overlooked, and Von Mertens stitches the movement of stars above violent events as a form of witnessing. The article emphasizes the interconnectedness of all beings and the potential for transformation through ritual and art. [Extracted from the article] |
