Our names are part of our identity and influence how we define ourselves, as well as how others perceive us. Research in Sweden has shown that a job-seeker\u2019s name can play a crucial role in the processes that lead to being called for an interview or not. Changing to a Western-sounding name has therefore been a way to sidestep racism and discrimination. At Bonniers Konsthall, the artist Jacqueline Ho\u00e0ng Nguy\u1ec5n presents the work Untitled (Entitled) which examines this very connection between our names and various social hierarchies.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Nguy\u1ec5n\u00b4s art highlights our era\u2019s construction of identity and reveals hidden power structures. Through apparently everyday situations and stories, she shows its political relevance. Untitled (Entitled)<\/em> is based on interviews with people of foreign origin who felt they needed to change their names in order to avoid discrimination. In the text-based installation, consisting of movable lenticular prints, the names of the participants are given in their native language, along with their adopted Western names. On a number of occasions during the exhibition, dancers will activate the installation through a form of performance, choreographed by Nguy\u1ec5n, which has its premiere at Bonniers Konsthall. The dancers move to music composed of simple phrases that are used when learning a language, for example \u201cmy name is\u201d.<\/p>\n
