Freja Bäckman

Freja Bäckman (NO/DE/FI) works at the intersection of art, education and socio-political work, often engaging with questions about collective formations through queer and feminist working methods. Their work is usually context-specific and performative, and recent projects include I was told I chop wood like a ballet dancer, No play Feminist Training Camp, The Bright Lights of the Institution, and the Partisan Café at Bergen Assembly (2016). Bäckman is doing a doctorate at Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture, Helsinki, and plays in the doom metal band Lithalsa.
