SNÖVIT

BIO

Snövit creates sensually driven installations, videos, sound, photography and performance that examines the deepest of human emotions, compassion, healing, intimacy, sexuality, rituals and relations beyond the given structures. Her work  can be seen as an act of resistance against prejudice towards “otherness" and stereotypical ways in how the world has been presented or even programmed into our consciousness through visual media. Snövit creates large scale projects, long durational performances and participatory installations where she addresses, appropriates and subverts the notions of existential questions, human value, bodily politics, gender and identity based rights. By inserting them into a new order, interlacing, reframing and blowing up situations in contrast to, or in conflict with social restrictions -she aims to shed light over the hidden, forgotten, untold and folded. To give ground for new versions of truths and ways of experience life as a human being. 

Snövit holds a MFA from Concordia University in Montreal, Canada and has also been a student at the Royal Academy of Arts in Stockholm, Valand Academy of Arts, Stockholm Academy of Dramatic Arts, Konstfack, Beckmans and Forsbergs.

 

Snow is an interdisciplinary artist whose work transcends traditional artistic boundaries, integrating mediums such as video, soundscape, photography, sculpture, durational performance, and participatory installations. Their practice, grounded in extensive research, delves into themes of human value, the subconscious, embodiment, spirituality, and power dynamics. Snow challenges dominant cultural narratives, inviting audiences to rethink mental, emotional, and physical constructs within the context of global structures.

With a focus on intersectional perspectives, Snow's work incorporates feminist discourse and subverts conventional methods of meaning-making. Drawing on diverse influences, Snow employs media industry techniques to engage audiences and evoke powerful emotional responses, including compassion, memory, trauma, and healing.

Snow collaborates with marginalized voices to amplify sensitive and underrepresented narratives. Recent projects have explored post-human futures and the dynamics of "othering," imagining alternatives to the anthropocene.

Snow's academic background includes an MFA and studies at internationally renowned arts institutions. Their work has been exhibited at prominent venues and events worldwide. Snow operates from studios in multiple locations and continues to explore innovative approaches to artistic practice.
