Ingrid von Sydow works through and within intersectionality, interiority and visibility with a myriad of materials. She has utilized film/video, photography, collage, poetry, drawing, painting and sculpture to make visual/visceral the internal experience of womanhood, complexities of cultural embodiment and liminal experience of female identifying persons. Much of her work delves (and at times literally) reflects into/upon erroneous assumptions, intimate details, appropriated and displaced elements of our collective identities and specifically her own intimate experience of Otherness/Blackness. von Sydow holds a BFA and MFA from CalArts in Visual Art. In 2017 she responded to the violence in Charlottesville by producing a collaborative project for the NYTimes with activist Andrea Bowers that read, "My Mom Survived the Nazis/ My Dad Survived Jim Crow,". In 2019 Ingrid contributed both written and visual artwork for a book project by Nancy Buchanan and produced by Laura Owens entitled, Hair Stories; this project also included contributions from Chris Burden, Vija Celmins, and Alison Saar among others. Her work has been exhibited at the Municipal Gallery at Barnsdall, at the Palos Verdes Art Center and the California African American Museum. In 2020 she contributed to a video piece by Suzanne Lacy and Andrea Bowers entitled, The Earth What She is To Me.
