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 lecture starts 14:15.
Let’s talk about fictions and friction, speculative practices and about why intersectionality is so f***ing hard! Let’s talk about the ghosts haunting our stages and the power of the stage as a miracle making machine! During the past few years Lindfors has been focusing on decolonial and speculative practices, the potential of dreaming as a restorative and subversive practice.
During the two days the topics will be approached through movement, discussions, listening, writing and dreaming. Sonya will introduce participants to themes and concepts of speculative decolonial work and structure this lab with provocations, questions, and collective moving practices, with the aim to co-create a space with participants. The lab is open to artists, thinkers and activists who are happy to work with movement.
Sonya Lindfors 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.
