Bodies in Motion - Dance and Resistance
2022
Konsthall C, Stockholm
Curated by Ulrika Flink
Konsthall C discusses the role of dance in political organisations. Dance is a language, an expression that engages the senses through the heart, through movements that have their basic counterparts in our daily lives.
Harold Offeh's video installation Joy Inside Our Tears examines the relationship between trauma, social dance and collective joy. However, collective dance does not always necessarily signal joy but can also be a sign of stress inflamed by societal anxiety, anger or sadness associated with a time filled with unrest. The work deals with the complex relationship between trauma and public manifestations of dance.
