ADAM & AMINA SEID TAHIR

several attempts at braiding my way home

©

© Amina Seid Tahir

Shifting between labour and speculative proposals, several attempts at braiding my way home insists on fiction as a tool for quaking potential and finding opportunities for recovery and belonging. The performance swims with the Clymene dolphins, who defy understandings of heritage. It listens to the walruses who trust their hair for navigation. several attempts at braiding my way home is a collection of strategies for creating a home in an Afro-Nordic landscape. Braiding hair, fusing bones, growing fins. It is a heatwave and a longing for home.

Artist Talk on Sat 25 May at 16.00 in TQW Studios. Artist and curator Isabelle Edi in conversation with Adam & Amina Seid Tahir. In English.
