Stine Marie Jacobsen (b. 1977, DK) is a conceptual artist working to decode violence and law both individually and collectively through participatory means. In order to give participants a collaborative and dialogical space, Jacobsen creates open structured sociocultural and participatory projects with clearly defined themes. With a focus in themes such as film, language, gender, violence, death, taboos, anonymity andpsychology, the artist conducts performative experiments and creates platforms for critical thinking and new ways of looking at ethics, identity, control, fear and trust. Over the years, Jacobsen has conceptualised and worked on a number of long term participatory and on-going educational projects such as Direct Approach, an anti-violence project that starts with conversations about violence in film and reality or Law Shifters, where the artist in collaboration with lawyers organises law writing workshops for refugees, immigrants and citizens, and invites them to write their own judicial proposals.
