Malmö Dance Week and Malmö Konstmuseum are collaborating to host a day focused on navigating the ongoing cultural crisis through dance, lectures, krump and therapy.
This paneltalk starts 15:45.
"Dance in Times of Crises" is the title of a panel discussion on how one can make an impact and the role of art and dance in times of crises. This discussion will address how dance and choreography can genuinely influence society, the motivation behind creating dance and art, and how to continue artistic creation amidst growing far-right oppression.
Moderator: Lucy Cathcart Frödén is a researcher, linguist and artist, working primarily with music and sound. She is interested in creative co-creation and how collaboration can foster solidarity and mutual engagement. Her research seeks to understand how the radical openness that collaborative creativity requires can transform gaps - between people, languages, cultures, academic disciplines or art forms - into a common starting point.
Sonya Lindfors (FI) is an award - winning Cameroonian-Finnish choreographer and artistic director who also works with facilitating, community organizing and education. Lindfors’ recent works One Drop (2023), common moves (2023), We Should All Be Dreaming, camouflage (2021), Soft Variations Online (2020) centralize questions around Blackness and Black body politics, representation and power structures, speculative futurities and decolonial dreaming practices.
Anna Öberg (SE) is a choreographer and dancer working in the intersection between choreography, sound and spatial practices using her background in Swedish folk dance as the starting point for both her artistic and research work. In 2015 she was awarded an MFA degree in Choreography at Stockholm University of Arts as the first traditional dancer in its history. She also holds a Post Master from The Royal Institute in Art, Stockholm.
Her artistic works are presented in both Sweden and abroad.
Ingeborg Zackariassen (NO) Is a Gothenburg-based writer, choreographer and artistic director. She explores the intersections of art, politics and society, with particular attention to cultural policy and the precarious conditions of the independent dance field. She co-runs the artist-driven platform No Deadline, which organises the Rabbit/Duck Festival and Creative Currents – focusing on interdisciplinary art and choreography – and is published internationally, by Tanz, tanz.dance, Springback Magazine, as well as several Nordic journals.
