Description: The second part of Johanna Gustafsson Fürst?s exhibition 'Graft the Words, Whip My Tongue' at Accelerator will coincide with the launch of the book 'Stridsskrift', edited by literary critic and author Sara Abdollahi. At an early stage of the exhibition work, Gustafsson Fürst realised the importance of providing space to explore the exhibition topic in literary texts: 'I wanted to bring together a group of people who use language as their medium for an expression of the joy of words, the pain of having one's language restricted and the need for linguistic freedom and difference'. In collaboration with Sara Abdollahi, Gustafsson Fürst invited the writers and poets Lars Raattamaa, Negar Naseh, Balsam Karam, Ida Börjel and Loretto Villalobos. In consultation with Gustafsson Fürst, Jonas Williamsson has designed the book in relation to the sculptures and the benches where the book has been placed. Exhibition: Accelerator, Stockholm, Sweden (17.01.-18.06.2020).
Notes: Book published on the occasion of an exhibition held at Accelerator, Stockholm, January 17-June 18, 2020.
