Launch Pad LaB - Spotlight: Dr Sonya Dyer
No full textIn summer of 2024, Sonya partook in the residency program, Launchpad LaB.
Launch Pad LaB is an artists’ residency program established in 2018 on the grounds of La Boissière, an ancestral home in rural southwest France. Developed by the owner, contemporary art collector and philanthropist Veronique de Champvallier Parke in collaboration with Sarah Lee Elson of Launch Pad, Launch Pad LaB offers artists the space and time for research and experimentation. The program provides the possibility to consider or produce a new body of work, to collaborate with others, or to generate responses to the local environment. The opportunity is aimed at artists established in a dedicated practice for whom a hiatus from the daily demands on their time and energies can make a difference in their creative productivity. Located in the countryside, Launch Pad LaB invites artists to engage in a quieter and more isolated environment that will ideally launch a new development in their practice.
Sonya is currently developing a film from the research gathered during this residency.

Whitstable Biennial
No full textThe second in a trilogy of works arising from Hailing Frequencies Open (HFO), an ongoing body of work, this video and sculpture installation continues Sonya Dyer‘s engagement with speculative fiction and mythologies of space.
HFO intersects the Greek myth of Andromeda (an Ethiopian princess, rendered white in Western art history, who has both a galaxy and a star constellation named after her), the dubious legacy of HeLa cells (the first human materials sent into space, taken from the body of Henrietta Lacks, a Black American mother and farmer), and actor Nichelle Nicols’ (Uhura from ‘Star Trek’) pioneering work in diversifying the NASA astronaut pool in the 1970s, as the starting point for an exploration of Black female subjectivities within fictional narratives of the future.
Sonya Dyer’s new video work, The Betsey-Drake Equation, combines conversations with physicists, performance based on a dance the character ‘Nyota Uhura’ performed on ‘Star Trek’ and the artist’s continued motif of the Andromeda Galaxy. Drawn together, these elements propose a version of the mythological Andromeda as a trickster protagonist of her own story as she builds a revolutionary space programme.
The sculptural elements, a constellation of vessels named ‘Betsey’, are based on Andromeda’s experiments in form, inspired by natural and constructed forms and mechanical processes. They are named after Betsey Harris, one of three named Black women experimented on by physician and gynaecologist J. Marion Sims in the 19th century. As with their sister vessel Anarcha (2019), these sculptures propose ways to monumentalize these women and reimagine the encounter between Black bodies and medical sciences through the science fiction trope of naming space vehicles after notable people from Earth’s history.
