Sonya Lindfors & working group Living in Color / In Living Color

Sonya Lindfors and her working group’s performance Living in Color / In Living Color will be shown as part of The Finnish Museum of Photography’s the Invisible Race exhibition. The performance invites the viewers to think about the urgent, unsettled question: What does it mean to be “of color”?

Living in Color / In Living Color is a series of performative actions and interventions that transform and evolve with each presentation. By weaving together traces of past works with new performative experiments, the working group opens a collective space where ghosts are summoned and portals opened. The work is an invitation to remain with the discomfort of racialization while moving towards futures that imagine Blackness as processes of becoming—fluid, multiple, and ever-expanding. A decolonial and speculative practice where Blackness can be dreamt and re-dreamt.

The performance is a work in progress that the working group will share with the audience at the end of the first week of rehearsals. The audience will have the opportunity to follow the early stages of the work’s development.

Duration of the performance is ca. 30-40 minutes. On Wednesday, the performance is followed by a panel discussion.

Admission with museum admission ticket or Museum Card.
