Southnord announces second collections exhibition: Earthscape

5 Feb

Opening 4 February 2026, Southnord showcases eight Afro-Nordic artists in a second collections exhibition.

The show brings together diverse artistic practices preoccupied with landscape identity; ancestral memory; intertwined geographies; the relationship between land and body; consumerism and imperial capitalism. Through a variety of techniques from photography to painting, ceramics to textiles, the artists collectively and individually explore the environmental impact of modern society on the earth and on the human experience. A rock, a churning skyline, a geographic pole, clay, indigo, burnt wood, copper, petroleum and discarded clothes are the materiality that bring these transcultural perspectives into dialogue with each other.

Southnord’s second collections exhibition showcases the latest acquisitions in our ever-growing Afro-Nordic art collection. The artists included in this exhibition are Alexandra Mitiku, Dyami Rafn Andrews, Liisa-Irmelen Liwata, Marcia Harvey Isaksson, Michelle Eistrup, Sasha Huber, Theresa Traore Dahlberg and Viola Nimuhamya.
