Scripted scores and performance.

On Afrophobia: Towards Decolonial Curatorial Approaches (2016)

Ali och Kjell (2015)

Performance with painting. Ali and Kjell is a collaboration with artist Ali Alkurdi Murad. Götheborg, by Ali Alkurdi Murad.

Hemma hos Kjell (2014)

Encounters at my apartment with food. ‘Kjell Caminha invites people to visit his suburban located two-bedroom apartment to eat with him Brazil's national dish '‘feijoada’. A situation is slightly inclined while announcing the artwork to potential guests: Kjell is strongly expecting you to invite him back.’

The Last Image at Eggers (2014)

Photography. The Last Image at Eggers is a site-responsive project that departed from Hôtel Eggers historic connection to Swedish emigration in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Participants were invited to book themselves into photo-shoot sessions and have their portraits taken at one of Eggers’ suites, whilst they would think about their last image – the image they’d hold on to before fleeing Sweden.
