About this event
Artist Talk: Sakib Khalid Saboor takes place on Tuesday, 10 November 2026 at Nordic Culture Point, Helsinki. Admission costs nothing.
Welcome to an Artist Talk with Norwegian Sakib Khalid Saboor. He will discuss development and working methods for his residency projects.
The objective of the residency is to develop Fortress of Shadows, a photographic project that documents the layered history of Suomenlinna through analogue and darkroom techniques.
Sakib Saboor aims to create experimental images that reflect how memory and history overlap across time.
The island has been shaped by three distinct periods: Swedish, Russian and Finnish, each leaving visible and invisible traces in its architecture, landscapes and everyday life.

Sakib Saboor wants to document these traces not through straightforward representation, but by working with multiple exposures, photograms and experimental printing that allow shadows, textures and absences to emerge.
The project continues the artists’ practice of investigating memory, identity and belonging through analogue processes. In earlier works, he has used overlapping exposures to reflect how memories and identities are fragmented and multi-layered.
At Suomenlinna, he will apply the same approach to the site itself, letting the past overlap with the present.
