Today, dancer and artist Freddy Houndekindo walks us through the paintings that have resonated with him in the When We See Us exhibition at Liljevalchs. Here, he reflects on intimacy and the depth of Black relationality.

In this series of reels, Southnord has invited some of the role models in our Afro-Swedish community to share their thoughts about the works that resonate with them the most in the When We See Us exhibition at Liljevalchs. These reels will be published throughout the course of the show until it closes on 30 August 2026.
