Alva Roselius is an artist and scenographer working with language and spatiality. Informed by architecture and theater and inspired by phenomenology, queer theory and political movements, her works revolve around power, desire and normality.
They circle around an ambivalent longing for alternatives, resistance and closeness. But also a longing for respite, to not have to resist. Alva is educated at Konstfack in Stockholm and UMPRUM in Prague. Besides her artistic practice she writes for Flamman and Arbetaren.
The textile banner is a site specific piece made to match its surroundings as a way of playing with the desire to blend in and not carry the responsibility that comes with representation. Together with the large scale format this also highlights the contradiction of protesting for one's right to be invisible. The font is created by Sarah Bori, inspired by suffragette banners.
