Christine Fielder
Curatorial Fellowship
2020
Desire Paths looks at makers both within the discourse of craft and ones that exist on the periphery of the craftscape who focus on the movement of the body towards something desirable. These desires of the body are in relationship to: nature, tech, self, and society. Using architectural theory and queer curatorial strategies, Desire Paths will examine the possibilities and futures of bodies, revealing connections between the corporeal and craft.

Currently Lambert is an MA candidate at Warren Wilson College in Critical and Historical Craft researching the relationship of craft to nation-state structure through nomadism and fixity using a queer/intersectional perspective.
