METHODOLOGY

Entangled Research

Entangled research begins from the premise that knowledge is never produced in isolation. It emerges through relations, materials, bodies, temporalities, and working conditions. Research is not a linear process but a network of connections, tensions, care, and transformation.

Entanglement means that theory is not separate from practice, production is not separate from reflection, and the researcher is not an external observer but a participant. Knowledge is situated, formed within specific contexts and in dialogue with others.

Entangled research therefore builds long term processes that allow for slowness, doubt, shifts in direction, and collective thinking. Instead of extracting information, it establishes reciprocal relations. Instead of closing questions, it generates new ones.

Entangled Curating

Entangled curating understands the exhibition as a research field rather than a final product. Artworks, spaces, texts, bodies, and audiences are interdependent elements that shape one another through process.

Curatorial work is not merely the organisation of content, but the design of conditions. It creates situations where complexity can exist without simplification. Projects are not singular events but nodes within ongoing relationships.

Entangled curating also implies responsibility. Responsibility toward artists, toward context, toward material working conditions, and toward the communities formed through the process.

Textile Logic

Textile is not merely a medium, but a methodological model. Weaving, stitching, layering, and repairing offer a different understanding of structure. Connection instead of hierarchy. Interlacing instead of a centre. Tension as a productive force.

Textile logic teaches us that structure emerges through the relationship between individual threads. If one loosens, the whole shifts. This understanding shapes how we build research processes, collaborations, and institutional frameworks.

Care Practices

We understand care as an infrastructural principle rather than an addition. Care means shaping working conditions that enable sustainability, accessibility, and mutual support.

Feminist and queer thought within our work are not themes, but structural positions. They ask who produces knowledge, under what conditions, and for whom. They reject neutrality as an illusion and insist on situatedness, embodiment, and political responsibility.

TANIT’s methodology is therefore not a style or an aesthetic choice. It is a way of organising work, relationships, and time. It is a commitment to complexity, care, and a future built through entanglement.
