Tuva Elisabet Bjerkestrand Eid (they/them, b. 1997) is a multidisciplinary artist, musician and anthropologist. This is their first art exhibition, and will showcase paintings, ceramics and embroidery — all centred around queerness, collectiveness, and joy. Tuva is the coordinator and founder of Broderikollektivet, which draws inspiration from embroidery collectives in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro (“Linhas de Sampa” and “Bordados Militantes”, respectively) to make political patches to raise funds for queer and trans mutual aid. Through the collective, Tuva also holds other community workshops and facilitate collective textile artworks, some of which have been exhibited at Kunsthall Oslo for ASSATA library’s “educate, agitate, organize” exhibition in February 2024. As they collect their work for a solo exhibition, it will be centered around how much queer collective means to them as an artist. Both in painting and ceramics, they see sexuality and intimacy as something playful and beautiful. Tuvas art is a sapphic antithesis to the cis-male gaze, and bursts with colours, energies, florals and portrayals of women and femme bodies. This exhibition is an ode to the artist’s chosen family and the importance of collective.
