Farhat’s artistic work acts as a whip and also as a crystal – it is a practice of immense strength which cracks, refracts and exposes. The exhibition title plays on the sound of the whip cracking and the crystal spinning. Working collaboratively with musicians such as Gnučči, Zhala and The Knife, Farhat acts as a refracting and reflecting force working between performance, film and music-video. Farhat brings a fierce feminist stance to each of her pieces. She is an artist who is unafraid and consistently steps up to address urgent political, social and cultural issues. This is the first major solo exhibition of the artist in Sweden and internationally. More |
Later this month the exhibition of Chris Kraus’s film works in connection with her books opens at Index. Chris Kraus will be at Index and will also present a talk with Index and Kulturhuset.

Her films can be seen today to reformulate image culture regarding philosophical matters, emotions and the need for other ways to define content production, distribution and agency.More |

The evening will focus on Farhat’s music videos and include a special listening set of the radio play Självporträtt, written by Dimen Abdulla, directed and scored by Roxy Farhat & Zhala.
