Mia Melvær is a Norwegian visual artist and artistic researcher working with questions around materiality, technology, and processes of recording. She is a member of Constant Association for Arts and Media, among other collective structures, and has a special interest in tools for collective work and archives of queer and feminist ephemera. Her practice oscillates between sculptural installations, writing, and assembling scraps from archival deep-dives to create narrative patchworks.
Where oral histories have long been anchored in practices of repetition and versioning, systems of publishing are still learning to trust and fully incorporate these dynamics, finding room for changes that are not based in the singular but in the collective.
