From Invisibility to Manifestation: Out of Scandinavia Lecture

As part of the 2023 Out of Scandinavia Artist-in-Residency Program, Jeannette Ehlers will present a public lecture. Ehlers is a Copenhagen-based artist of Danish and Trinidadian descent whose practice takes shape experimentally across photography, video, installation, sculpture and performance. Ehlers’ work often evokes decolonial hauntings and disruptions, and she insists on the possibility for empowerment and healing in her art, honoring legacies of resistance in the African diaspora. She merges the historical, the collective and the rebellious with the familial, the bodily and the poetic.
