A Kenyan-British artist has revealed the racism and microaggressions black women deal with on a daily basis in an ingenious art project, appropriately titled "Stranger in the Village."

When Phoebe Boswell traveled to the city of Gothenburg, Sweden, in 2015 for an artist's residency, she saw early on that it would be a choice location to explore race, gender, and identity. Born in Kenya to mixed white/black parents, raised as an expatriate in the Middle East, based now in London, the artist has had to navigate spaces and many identities.

But upon arrival in Gothenburg, Boswell was warned by her hosts that "Gothenburg society is very segregated."

"In what way?" she asked.

"In the bad way."

"I think perhaps they felt they had to warn me based on my appearance, and coming from the freedom of London, and having grown up in an expat community where most people were other to a certain degree," Boswell writes in an essay about her project.

"I felt myself immediately stiffen, wondering what, indeed, my month there would be like," the artist told The Huffington Post.

Boswell decided to try and get a sense of what her hosts meant by exploring the city and meeting people. And the way to do that came to her quickly: Tinder.
