“I’m writing you at the end of April. There’s a sense in the air that spring is on its
way, not least as the light has begun its return. Within Samlande tankar/Collecting
Thoughts I’ve spent time on grants that will enable collaborations and events. Writing
grants entails fi guring out where a project might go, but it also means looking back to
the original conception of a project and, more concretely, seeing how it’s evolved.”

Johnny Chang
Johnny Chang is a Taiwanese-American multidisciplinary designer and artist based in Stockholm. Moving between visual communication, writing, and artistic research, his practice is concerned with circumstances of distance and diaspora, the politics of voice and listening, and processes of sense-making. Through visual culture, publication making, and collaborative and performative methods of reading, he investigates ways of listening and voicing toward cultivating resilient capacities for sensing, feeling, and being in the present. He studied at ArtCenter College of Design (BFA, US) and Konstfack (MFA, SE). Occasionally teaches at Konstfack and Stockholm University.
Johnny will also be Artist-in-Residence as part of Samlande tankar/Collecting Thoughts.
“The year is drawing to a close, and I have just returned aft er some time in Chile,
that is part of the Global South. Moving through the capital, Santiago, I was reminded
of how social movements use visual art as a natural form of expression.”
