CUTMR / Room 205 / SPAM
SPAM is a collective of four graphic designers: Ayeshah Ijaz, Maggie Chan, Preethi Jagadeesh and Sayeda Akbary. Having become familiar with various aspects of traditional graphic design, each one of them now moves beyond their structured professional practice and into the intersecting horizons of various art and design disciplines through critical and visual exploration.
The value of the garment forms a thread between workers of the third world and consumers of the first. Through the perspective of motherhood, Touched explores both the unfolding of her labour within the confines of home and in gendered industries of our homelands. She is a common performer in this endless stage of production. Connections and disconnections are revealed through varied processes, raising hidden questions.
