Selected Projects & Collaborations

Video interview co-created with Ellen Nyman reflecting on her activist and artistic project SPACECAMPAIGN that critiqued rising racism in Denmark around the year 2000. The interview brings SPACECAMPAIGN back to Copenhagen  20 years after the project was active here. We trace the impact of SPACECAMPAIGN across news media, publications, and embodied memory, using Ellen's personal SPACECAMPAIGN archive. Produced for Remnants.

Research, exhibition text, and artistic contribution to Remnants (2025) curated by Tawanda Appiah at HEIRLOOM - center for art and archives in Copenhagen. "​Remnants​ pulls together a poetic constellation of gestures by living and departed artists, where pasts and presents meet in chorus." Photo: Eagle-Eye and Don Cherry during SVT filming, Tågarp, 1971. © Estate of Moki Cherry / Cherry Archives.

Vancouver-based artist Chipo Chipaziwa visited Copenhagen during the European tour for her book My Mother My Home and performed her work Slipping Into Slipping Away. In My Mother My Home, Chipaziwa uses the book format as a means of archiving her performances with/in the absence of her physical body. Curated by SixtyEight, September 2025. Photo: Christian Brems.

Voices Carried by the Sea is a literary intervention in the exhibition Seafarer at the Danish Maritime Museum (2025). Five authors write about one museum object each. Their texts are poetic rewritings of Denmark’s history as a colonial power. The authors use fiction to explore historical figures and experiences that are not otherwise represented in the exhibition. Sound design: Siri Paulsen.

I moderated a conversation between Qwin Werle, author Mikas Lang, and author Andreas Eckhardt-Læssøe discussing the historical context of Octavia Butler's authorship, genres like black sci fi and black surrealism, and the politics of translation. March 2025.

I'm on the board of Centre for Nordic Otherwise. Founder Myriam Diatta writes: "Centre for Nordic Otherwise was created to address the urgent need for many more spaces where racialized individuals in the Nordic region, who are working towards liberation through conceptual and artistic means, can find support."

I spoke with author Mikas Lang in Politikens Boghal about his new novel Bamberg Blues (2025, Gutkind). We discussed Lang's use of the blues tradition, racial isolation in Afro-Germany history, and fiction as a gesture of care.

I was in conversation with Mai Takawira  at Bonniers Konsthall about our contribution to the catalogue Frida Orupabo: On Lies, Secrets and Silence (2024). Moderated by Marie Louise Richards. 

I moderated the conversation "A Planetary Breath" with black feminist and abolitionist architect Marie-Louise Richards curated by Margarida Waco for OPEN24 Architecture Festival, "The Ocean in which We All Swim" at Arkitektskolen Aarhus (2024).

I interviewed Deborah Willis for International Photographers' Stage at the Royal Danish Library (2024). We spoke about Willis' extensive contributions to the history of photography as an artist, researcher, and curator.

Discussant at the book release for the anthology Coloniality and Decolonisation in the Nordic Region edited by Julia Suárez-Krabbe and Adrián Groglopo at Roskilde University (2023).

I was fortunate to be a consultant on, and facilitator in, the seminar Disrupting Colonial Monu/mentality (2023) organised by Mai Takawira. “This seminar brings together artists, activists, and researchers in a conversation about colonial monu/mentality, insistent hauntings, and reparative gestures in public space. We will contend with inscriptions of white patriarchal power in marble, brick, and concrete. We will nurture the return of the repressed—that which disrupts the movements and fixations of colonial monu/mentality by collapsing divides between “past”, “present” and “future.” We will explore other ways of orienting ourselves, taking up space, feeling each other and feeling at home, and transform the space we call the commons." 

I presented at the seminar Confronting Coloniality organised by Vár Eydnudóttir, Anna Vestergaard Jørgensen, and Bart Pushaw in Tórshavn (2023). "This

seminar invites speakers and participants to join a dialogue regarding the possibilities and limitations of the Faroe Islands as a starting point for questions around colonialism, coloniality, and the arts.... The seminar strives to foster a space where we can meet and learn from each other on pressing issues of the ongoing entanglements of Nordic colonialism and coloniality, both past and present."

Exhibition assistant, working on installing and opening night performances for Threshold(s) curated by Dr. Temi Odumosu at CAMP / Center for Art on Migration Politics (2020). "The exhibition engages with current immigration tensions and structural practices, but with a particular focus on the ‘inbetweenness’ of movement as a state of being, which produces critical knowledge. The artists represented in Threshold(s) all have layered practices, including deep memory work, as well as, participatory and performative elements."
