The richly illustrated catalogue Frida Orupabo: On Lies, Secrets and Silence offers critically and creative texts in response to the exhibition.

The catalogue begins with an introduction by Yuvinka Medina (Senior Curator at Bonniers Konsthall) and Owen Martin (Curator at Astrup Fearnley Museum), who highlight the significance of the artist’s early digital work and its relation to On Lies, Secrets and Silence. The catalogue also features original essays by Nina Cramer (PhD candidate at the University of Copenhagen, Department of Arts and Cultural Studies) and Mai Takawira (freelance curator and researcher), who explores the position of Orupabo’s work within a Nordic context, as well as by Dr. Portia Malatjie (curator and lecturer in Visual Cultures at the Michaelis School of Fine Art, University of Cape Town), who considers the connections between race, discomfort and play. Additionally, C. LeClaire (poet and author) and Hilton Als (award-winning journalist, critic and curator) contribute creative, deeply personal texts that open up for singular readings of the exhibition. The design is by Gabrielle Guy. The catalogue is published in collaboration with Astrup Fearnley Museum and Skira Editore. It will also be published in a German edition in collaboration with Sprengel Museum Hannover and Stiftung Niedersachsen, coinciding with Frida Orupabo receiving the prestigious Spectrum International Prize for Photography in 2025.
