Abstract

Greater Miracle Of Perception by the Miracle Workers Collective was an extensive exhibition project developed through processual and collective methodologies and expanded through several phases and involvements. With the following text, I seek to reflect on my exploration of the exhibition practice as a medium and site to articulate epistemologies in resistance and nondominant praxes, while addressing specific particularities of the project that I see necessary in the context of public debate in Finland. The text is complemented with weaving some of the challenges of developing a critical curatorial praxis, through my proposition of articulating this praxis as a nondominant, interdependent, and intersectional process. A form of praxis that moves building solidarities and demarcates away the authoritative and illustrative tendencies predominant to the field. As such, this thesis opens an exhibition as a process to contribute to the nourishment of nondominant ways in the making.
