Workshop open for all
Can information be objective or neutral? How is reality constructed, and how does it manifest in our society? What kinds of stories we tell about otherness? What kinds of power structures we reinforce or deconstruct through art? Through what kind of spectacles we look at the world around us?
The workshop given by activist Maryan Abdulkarim and choreographer Sonya Lindfors investigates and shakes up the concept of whiteness through speaking and looking, taking apart, exploring and experimenting.
Sonya Lindfors is a Helsinki-based choreographer and the artistic director of the UrbanApa art collective. Her aim is to shake up, deconstruct and bend existing power structures through her works. She currently focuses on representations of otherness, the concept of fake and a method called Bad Girls.
Maryan Abdulkarim is a socially oriented jack of all trades from Tampere who writes columns and runs a one-woman company.
