Daisy Magnusson
About
Daisy Magnusson is a curator/artist/educator/historian/abolitionist whose current work at the Royal College of Art seeks to locate a ‘beyond’ through the use of queer and activist practice; maintaining that both are required for world building.
Prior to their Postgraduate studies they worked as a history teacher in a Juvenile Detention Facility in Washington, DC, USA. Informed by their experiences working with incarcerated youths, their practice seeks to observe and critique the punitive and putative systems that structure arts institutions. At the core of their practice is the belief in the possibility of other worlds, in new ways of relating to one another, and in radical exploration and experimentation. Rooted in the larger lineage of liberatory practices, their approach is invested in working with — rather than ‘for’ — in terms of context, history, and legacy, as well as publics.
