Moves and Imagination: Niki Awandee Tsappos

In this tour of When We See Us at Liljevalchs, participants experience the paintings through a dancer’s lens.

How do you translate a still image to moving form? Join the esteemed choreographer and movement practitioner Niki Awandee Tsappos as she moves us through 4-5 works and illustrates them through dance. This is an interactive viewing where Niki will take you through her creative landscapes to interact with the paintings more deeply. Participants will be given the tools to explore how images can come alive using their imagination and bodies, if so moved. This event is part of the ongoing curatorial programming by Southnord, a platform ampliying Black and Afro-Nordic artists, for the exhibition.
