Konsthall C is one of the most exciting art spaces in Northern Europe. Located in a former laundry space in a suburb of Stockholm, we have created exhibitions, events and projects since 2004, often in close partnerships with our local communities.
As borders are opening up again, so are we. This fall features a series of open calls aimed at artists, researchers, programmers and students, to participate in Konsthall C’s program.
Artistic Director Ulrika Flink’s program examines people’s voice and language, i.e. the ability to speak and to formulate oneself in relation to one’s own and others’ rights. Every voice arises through interaction with the voices, dreams and lives of others. The program has brought together practices that relate to the relationship between individual and collective voices. The ability to see someone else in oneself—and based on this insight, act and speak in the world—is one of life’s moral pillars, inspired by the Martinique poet and philosopher Édouard Glissant.
Ulrika Flink has invited practitioners that engage in collective thinking and intervene into the present. Embedded in the program is a rich, rigorous, powerful poetry of language, combined with tools for listening that gives the viewer keys to a deeper understanding of the effects of structural violence and the need to envision different forms of resistance and radical emancipation.
Konsthall C is special in its close connections between program and structure. Its form allows for experiments and changes that impact the organisation. The themes addressed in the exhibitions informs the way we operate as a collective. This is an invitation to our international community, to participate in the construction of a new type of art organisation.
Here is how you can get involved:
Open call for residency: Transforming Bricks and Mortar
