comunicato stampa

Röda Sten is proud to present a solo exhibition and a newly commissioned work by internationally acclaimed artist Sislej Xhafa, for the first time in Sweden. Xhafa was born in Kosovar in 1970 and is now based in New York.

Sislej Xhafa is known for his controversial and provocative artistic works and interventions that he himself likes to label as “actions”. Most of his oeuvre is built on the challenge towards institutions, prejudice, and stereotypes; it relies on a continuous friction between cultures, offering almost a repertory of tactics to counter standardisation and categorisation in today’s increasing populist rhetoric.

Quite a consistent part of Xhafa’s work was developed during the years of his stay in Italy, a period during which he was constantly exposed to and confronted with an increasing xenophobia and many cultural clashes in what is one of the largest and most important West European democracies.

Xhafa has turned these circumstances into subjects of his works and even derives his working method from them.
