Biography

Maja Hammarén is a lecturer at the University of Gothenburg, focusing on the intersection of art, language, and political economy. Her work examines how language and performativity shape collective experiences and positions as a narrator. Hammarén is known for her explorations of art and aesthetics, particularly in relation to political regimes and economic interests. She engages with themes of body and performativity in her artistic practices, utilizing parodies and choreographies. Her performative lecture titled "A History of Shit" was notably presented at the Gothenburg Museum of Art, where she contextualized historical decrees within the framework of modern urban development and socio-political narratives.
