Inherent Values? A British cultural heritage perceived through familial domestic things.

Inherent Values? develops a practice-led, craft based approach to researching habitual whiteness within a British domestic setting. By dismantling everyday interaction with domestic objects, British cultural heritage in relation to dominant socio-political structures is examined. Expanding upon ideas of habituality as both structured and structuring (P. Bourdieu, 1977), research seeks to engage with domestic habits through a schema that works at the intersections of race, class and generational difference (S. Ahmed, 2007).

Methods of pausing, mirroring, mapping, and re-enacting locate habitual moments of comfort and discomfort within a domestic structure. Using a reflexive, craft methodology, research draws upon practical, haptic, and historical knowledge of the functional object within the field (A.Gali et al. 2018, H. Risatti, 2013). By consciously moving between the roles of domestic object user and maker, research utilises a dual lens within autoethnographic methods. Here a subjective, multi-sensory, multi-narrative understanding of a British home is engaged with, highlighting underexplored object-based methods.
