A place to meet: How critical theory cares for the everyday in artistic practice

This essay is a place where the everyday meets critical artistic practice meets
theory. Within a critical artistic researcher’s everyday practice, critical theory
is lived and practiced in modes that are material and felt. Building on the work of critical theorists who write explicitly about their relationships with theory,
three researchers write vignettes detailing small moments in their practice.
The vignettes make visible the ways the everyday and critical theory interlock
and show how critical artistic research asks us to consider ways of caring, being accountable, attending to, and growing sensibilities for living with critical
theories.
