Artist Interview - Sasha Huber

Sasha Huber (b. 1975, Switzerland) is a Helsinki-based visual artist of Swiss-Haitian heritage. Her work is concerned with the politics of memory and belonging in relation to the colonial residue left in the environment. Connecting history and the present, she uses and responds to archival material within a layered creative practice that encompasses performance-based reparative interventions, video, photography, and collaborations. Sasha also usurps the staple gun, aware of its symbolic significance as a weapon while offering the potential to renegotiate unequal power dynamics (pain-things).
