Student profile
Jane Donald
Thesis supervisor: Krista Lynes
Jane Donald is an emerging researcher with an artistic background in associative meandering. Their research encompasses theories of affect, subject-identity formation, enchantment/belief, pathology, and narrative experiments to interrogate the compulsive inclinations of language that undergird our cultural and political ontologies.
Jane’s artistic practices draw upon ‘nomadic ethics’ as a strategic framework against moral universalism. Their interdisciplinary orientation unfolds through altered objects, holistic environments, shared encounters, and writing protocols.
They are interested in participatory performances that actualize different realities of self-world incoherence into a broader context of solidarity.
