Frida Orupabo’s first monograph is published on the occasion of Orupabo’s exhibition at Kunsthall Trondheim. The book contains extensive documentation of artworks and includes also some of the social media imagery the artist has been producing over the past years, which form an integral part of her artistic oeuvre.

In her work, Orupabo explores questions related to race, family and kin relations, gender, sexuality, violence and identity. In Orupabo’s art, questions are also being raised on visibility and the necessity of being seen as a political subject. In her research process, Orupabo mines archives with a colonial history, revisiting images that were created through a racialized lens, as well as digital platforms such as Instagram and YouTube. From found digital and physical material, she creates collages, videos shown in exhibitions and distributed using the same online platforms from which some of the material is obtained.

The book Frida Orupabo includes contributions by Lola Olufemi, Legacy Russell, and Stefanie Hessler. It is designed by NODE Berlin Oslo and co-published by Kunsthall Trondheim and Sternberg Press.
