KITLV and Framer Framed are pleased to announce Clara Jo as the new Atelier KITLV-Framer Framed Artist in Residence. In the coming months, we will work closely with the artist in developing her project through workshops and conversations around art, archive and activism.
About the Artist in Residence Program
The Atelier KITLV-Framer Framed Artist in Residence program aims to sponsor and support concrete, innovative, provocative, and societally relevant projects. Artists in residence work on urgent topics at the intersection of art and culture, academic research, and scholarship in the field of Southeast Asian and/or Caribbean Studies, and in relation to (post)colonial theory and discourse.

Epidemiological routes and ruptures in the Afrasian Sea
Clara Jo will pursue research that locates intersections, political entanglements, and ruptures along epidemiological routes embedded within the Afrasian Sea, which have often been narrated in flawed terms to bolster the imperial nautical imaginary. She is particularly interested in historical erasures and amnesia within the practice of quarantine, especially when looking at scars in the terrain as witness. By incorporating speculative narratives into her research, she questions how these stories feed into collective imaginations and fictions during moments of crisis.
