Alda  Mohr Eyðunardóttir


Through a variety of media Alda Mohr Eyðunardóttir (b. 1997, Faroe Islands) explores themes of language, silence, and cultural heritage, weaving them together with recognisable materials such as wool, bronze, and film, relocating these objects in new contexts. She engages with the fluidity of meaning and history, recognizing how they continuously shape the present. As she always creates in Faroese, a minority language in most contexts, she works actively with the layered ways in which her work is interpreted, often through subtitles and translation. Drawing from feminist theory, craft traditions, and language, Eyðunardóttir examines how to create broader meanings through a personal lens.

From the catalog: “The work Red Stripes is a statement of emotion. Most abortion experiences in Faroese society are not seen as legitimate. This work is a confirmation that they exist. That self-chosen abortions have been, and always will be, carried out.”
