Anger Management

Anger Management is a project challenging narratives of female anger, creating conditions for change through materialization and conversation. The project looks at how narratives of anger are used, as tools of power, to oppress and invalidate anger through pathologization and internalization. The project, which is done in collaboration with 7 women in Växjö ages 13 to 62, is situated within female practices such as care, crafting and gifting. Simultaneously it is protesting what these practices entail and are part of in terms of structural inequality by intervening in the materializations of feminized labour. In Anger Management household objects are hacked into weapons for anger used to manifest, repeat and relearn new ideas of what female expressions of anger can be. Through interviews, conversations, letters and newsletters new narratives of anger are explored over time in a space of collectivity and friendship. The project looks at the personal as political and is working with the metadesign terminology and methodology. The term anger blacksmith is coined and the project is formulated as being design for anger.
