In response to an open call, I proposed being the Folklorist-In-Residence for this group exhibition. I created imaginary, improbable-but-possible commentaries about the artworks and artists with the intention of nurturing enchantment in the reader/listener/viewer/passer-by. I argued that to allow for enchantment is to reject hegemonic ‘truths’ which then provides space to enjoy the restorative and transformative powers of wistfulness and idleness.
