Community builders: Participatory and performative strategies of contemporary women printmakers

Summary/Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of the performative-participatory nature of creative activities un- dertaken in the field of graphic arts in the last decade. This formula of the artist-work-recipient re- lationship (which is relatively novel for graphic arts) is described using the concept of participatory art in accordance with the approach proposed by Claire Bishop in 2012. The concept of graphic dis- positive is then redefined to supplement this methodology. In the course of the analyzed projects, it undergoes a far-reaching transformation compared to the form in which it previously functioned in graphic arts. The reflection undertaken in the article emphasizes the community-creating nature of the activities of two graphic artists, Zuzanna Dyrda (Poland) and Priscilla Romero Cubero (Costa Rica), pointing to the role that the artistic practice proposed by each of them plays in transforming the per- ception of the graphic medium in the current field of art. The discussed projects are both significant contributions to the development of graphic arts in the so-called expanded field and serve as good examples of the possibilities available to this artistic medium in terms of animating, raising awareness and building micro- and macro-communities based on the emotional involvement of recipients and emphasizing corporeality as an important aspect of constituting emotions.
