Artist Statement
Strength, resilience and power are attributes that are associated with broad shoulders. But who has them, and in which situations in our everyday are they a prerequisite? In her work Broad Shoulders, Andrea Cindy Raemy explores these questions and investigates possible substitutes. To do this, she listens to music such as Pjluk by Cecile Believe, for example, and draws inspiration from costume design, consumer goods and spectacle. She explores the blurred lines between inner dynamics, internalized beliefs and external expectations. Her aim is to challenge traditional narratives and existing social constructs.
