The Weight of Silence
Solo exhibition, Whose Museum | 2021
A solo exhibition with artist Ina Nian, produced for Black Archives Sweden, at Whose Museum. In this exhibition, the artist used multiple mediums: video, installations, texts, and sound to examine their process in and traces from the archives. Nian employed the medium of iron to incite questions about Sweden’s role in the transatlantic slave trade, in particular, what it reveals and conceals. The artist contextualized this history within their artistic practice, Black Noise, a low-frequency sound that highlights the experiences of anti-Black racism and Blackness on a frequential level.
