Responding to Marion Harper: Restless Encounter - un Projects

In reflecting on the varied approaches to furniture engaged by artists, designers and architects, the cultural and social contribution of furniture is evident. However, architecture’s urge to respond and engage with the modern socio-political conditions has become more present.

Kannitha Lim is an interdisciplinary artist living and working on Bunurong Country. Kannitha is an emerging arts writer for the KINGS 2024 Emerging Writers Program. This will be Kannitha’s first published article and would like to thank Wen-Juenn Lee (mentor) and Emily Kostos (editor), KINGS ARI, un Projects, MPRG and the Frankston library staff for all their support and patience.

KINGS Artist-run Emerging Writers' Program In 2015, KINGS Artist-Run commenced an Emerging Writers’ Program aimed at providing opportunities for emerging arts writers to have their work published in a public forum and to further critical dialogue between writers and artists exhibiting in the KINGS program. Throughout the program each writer is mentored in the development of a text to be published within the gallery.

This piece is commissioned as part of the KINGS x un Projects Emerging Writers Program.
