Coinciding with the Guest of Honour Program at Frankfurter Buchmesse 2019 Portikus is very happy to announce the first solo exhibition by Frida Orupabo in Germany. Frida Orupabo is a Norwegian-Nigerian artist and sociologist, living and working in Oslo.

Her practice derives from a collection of media and personal images on Instagram (@nemiepeba) form where she started to make digital collages and short films with her image archive. Her archive, that is potentiated in her surreal collages, draws a picture on the preformed representations of race, gender, sexuality, violence as well as privacy, autobiography and public in media. For Portikus Frida Orupabo will develop a new site-specific installation with films and collages.
