The racism of Western societies inscribes itself into the body, says Marika Peura – in her case, into a body which both suffers and profits from the violent mechanisms of white supremacy, experiencing fragmentation in the process.

With the help of symbolically charged objects from both Finnish and Philippine cultures and accompanied by a superbly crafted soundscape by Tiikka Drama, Marika Peura develops a body language between repetition and disruption, chaos and analysis.
