What is the UN/making Network

Question

Accepted Answer

Formulated as a SSHRC research-creation Ph.D. project at Queen's University in Cultural Studies in which interdisciplinary Canadian artist Jill Price was interested in discovering and developing ways in which to unmake herself from systems of harm as a consumer and a maker, as well as transition her creative practice away from the narrative towards that which could be considered performative, preventative or reparative, the UN/making Network is Inspired by other artivist or cultural websites that share eco-ethical mandates, resources, and outcomes to build a community of like-minded thinkers and doers. Temporarily housed under www.jillpricestudios.ca, the UN/making Network currently exists as a series of web pages that i) outline a definition and methodology of UN/making inspired by the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development, the United Nations Declaration of Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), and Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action, ii) Provides a home base to the UN/maker Series, a collection of artist interviews in video, blog, and podcast formats that work to expand the definition of UN/making through different approaches to creating. iii) Hosts a growing UN/making Dictionary inspired by other eco-ethical glossaries such as The Dictionary of the Undoing by John Freeman, the online Environmental Dictionary, and the Counter-Desecration: A Glossary for Writing in the Anthropocene by Linda Russo and Marthe Reed, iv) Shares personal projects that have arisen out of UN/making as a concept and process,  v) Provides links to other websites and resources encouraging or stressing the importance of UN/making to imagine new worlds, and; vi) Links to the UN/making Network YouTube Channel, Instagram Feed, Facebook Page, and LinkedIn profile.
