Artist Talk: Apolonia Sokol
Apolonia Sokol portait, 2024 by Rita Blue
Please join us on Sunday 14 April at 6–7pm, for a conversation between artist Apolonia Sokol and O—Overgaden’s Director, Rhea Dall.
The talk will focus on Sokol’s current duo exhibition with Zahna Siham Benamor, The False Rose of Jericho, at O—Overgaden. The show raises shared questions of exiled identities—from the rootless flower, the so-called False Rose of Jericho, to cultural figures and stereotypes such as the nomad and the wandering Jew.
The conversation will be conducted in Danish.
You are welcome to visit the exhibitions at O—Overgaden before the talk.
Apolonia Sokol (b. 1988, FR) is a Paris-based artist of Polish and French origin, raised partially in Copenhagen. Sokol has exhibited at institutions including ARKEN, Ishøj (2023), MO.CO Panacée, Montpellier (2023), and Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Texas (2022). Further, she is the main subject of Lea Glob’s documentary Apolonia, Apolonia (2023) which revolves around Sokol’s life and practice.
