Besvärjelsen I verket “Besvärjelsen” lutar sig Lisa Nyberg mot muntliga berättartraditioner för att ta publiken på en resa igenom arv, gåvor, ansvar och myter i ett försök att knyta an till en plats. Genom upprepade fraser, gester och frågor tvinnar hon samman historiska fragment till en tråd som sträcker sig från det avlägsna till det intima.
The Spell In her performance work “The Spell”, Lisa Nyberg leans on traditions of oral storytelling to take the audience on a journey through heritage, gifts, responsibilities and myths in an attempt to connect to a place. Through repeated phrases, gestures and questions, she weaves together historical fragments into a thread that stretches from the distant to the intimate.
To Know and Be Known by (a) Place: The reciprocal process of getting to know a place, and in turn being known by that place, is at the centre of Lisa Nyberg’s post-doctoral research. The consequences of settler colonisation policies by the Swedish state on the Sami population and the settlers are intertwined in her family’s history and made tangible at the site that is their heritage – the homestead Mårtensliden. With an emphasis on site-specificity as an artistic research method Nyberg explore the meaning of reciprocity by looking at origin stories and other possibilities of reconnection, using Mårtensliden as a case study. The aim of the project is to document how artistic practices that consider our relationship to site-place-land can support practices of reconnection, in and beyond times of settler colonization.
