Saskia Holmkvist (born 1971) is an artist based in Stockholm. She is also a teacher and professor in fine art at the Oslo academy of the arts. Her work is concerned with exploring the limits of translation drawing from ways of practice within the domain of translation and how it shapes and forms relations and historical trajectories, in particular the impact on agency. Working in a circular mode of connectivity, bringing together themes of historic erasure and limits of translation through critical listening, oral speculation, repetitions into works of performance and film installation.
