Dancer
My name is Agnes Nilsson, I am 23 years old and I was born and raised in Skellefteå but I have my roots in Girjas. I am currently in my last year of studying for a bachelors degree in dance pedagogy at Stockholm University of the Arts. I am heavily influenced by my sámi heritage in my own dance practice since my ancestry and the art of dance are the two things in my life I am most passionate about.
About the art
All the importance, all the emotions, all the stories traditional clothes can carry.
All the things I carry by putting them on,
and how they carry me.
Agnes Nilsson Svakko came to the opening through a colaboration with Stockholm University of the arts where she is currently studying.
She shared her artwork Bivttastit, getting dressed.
Enjoy this glimpse of her performance.
