En gunga som genom minneskoreografier påminner om rörelser som tidigare förnummits, tidigare väckt känslor, tidigare väckt rörelser som nu inte kan sättas ord på men som existerat. Och som återigen känns i kroppen. Ibland som minnesfragment, ibland som nya upplevelser. I trädgården på Almen vård och omsorgsboende i Tollarp står en gunga som både rymmer en ensam gungare och en hel familj. En grupp boende kan gunga med varandra men också med sina besökare. Sina barnbarn, sina vänner. För somliga vardagsrörelser, för andra rituella avbrott. En ställning av fem figursågade och skurna pelare i lärkträ bär upp tre trästolar och en bänkgunga (bred gunga utan ryggstöd). En av träpelarna bärs i sin tur upp av en huggen fot i kolmårdsmarmor. Högst upp kramas pelarna av en cirkel av rostfritt stål. Från denna oregelbundna och formskurna cirkel hänger stolarna och gungan. Mellan två pelare står en plats tom. För att välkomna fler in i cirkeln och för att lämna plats för en rullstol. I cirkeln sitter glödlampor i rad och påminner lågmält om belysningar en mött på tivoli. Pelarna går i en rosa ton, målade i naturlig linoljefärg. Plats:&nbsp;Kungsgatans vård, Omsorgsboende Tollarp (på uppdrag Kristianstads kommun)Tillkomstår: 2024 Projektledare: Åsa-Wiktoria Wihlborg / Art Platform Beställare: Kristianstad kommun Tack till Madam Snickeri och Järna Rostfria. Gemensamhetsgungan is a communal swing where one can sit, meet, gather, and remember. A swing that, through its rocking movements, recalls choreographies that have previously been experienced, it reminds one of emotions and movements that no longer can be put into words. But it existed and is again felt in the body - eaiter as fragments of memory, or a new experience. There is a swing in the garden of the Almen Care Home in Tollarp that can accommodate both a solo person and a family. A group of residents can swing together or with their visitors: grandchildren and friends. For some, an everyday movement, for others a ritual pause. A strand of five pillars in larch wood, cut out as abstract figures, supports three wooden swing chairs and a swing bench (three-seat wide without backrest). One of the five pillars is in turn supported by a foot carved out of a Swedish green marble from Kolmården. At the top, the columns are braced by a circle of stainless steel. The chairs and the bench hang from this irregular shaped circle. Light bulbs are attached in a row to the circle, a gentle hint to the lights one has seen at fairgrounds. The pillars are in a pink shade, painted in natural linseed oil. There is an empty space between two of the pillars - to leave room for a wheelchair and to welcome more people into the circle.

Jangal är en utställning som är en skog. Alla är välkomna in i skogen. Här kan alla leka. Känna på grenarna. Dra händerna över mossan. Gömma sig i kojan. Lyssna efter vinden i trädkronorna. Och hitta älvorna. I Jangal finns älvbon och älvsång. I Jangal finns allas namn, även ditt. Välkommen. Kom in genom trädet. Och glöm inte att hälsa och berätta vem du är. Jangal kan bära alla dina hemligheter.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - Konstnärsduon aghili/karlsson jobbar ofta utifrån skogen som plats för lek, kontemplation och gemensamhet. Med inspiration i deras möten och samarbeten med den dekoloniala kultur och miljöorganisationen Casa Pueblo, i Adjuntas i Puerto Rico har dom skapat verk och workshops som utgår ifrån den besjälade naturen som en utgångspunkt för att samtala om hållbarhet, klimat och naturen som en verklighet som inte bara rymmer den mänskliga erfarenheten. I deras utställning Jangal finns älvor, kojor, Livets träd och mossa att ligga eller sitta i. Som vanligt vill dom gärna att utställningen blir en plats för interaktion, lek och reflektion. Alla objekt är gjorda för besökarna att existera med och där den ömsesidiga respekten skapar ett ansvarstagande som också bär på generositet och ett utbyte av hemligheter. This is Jangal. Jangal is an exhibition that is a forest. Everyone is welcome in the forest. Everyone can play here. Touch the branches. Run your hands over the moss. Hide in the den. Listen for the wind in the treetops. And find the fries. In Jangla, there are nests and songs of the fairies. Everyone’s name exists in Jangal, including yours. Welcome! Enter through the tree. And don’t forget to say hello and tell us who you are.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - Jangal can carry all your secrets.The artist duo aghili/karlsson often work from the forest as a place for play, contemplation and togetherness. With inspiration from their meetings and collaborations with the decolonial culture, and environmental organisation Cast Pueblo, in Adjuntas in Puerto Rico, aghili/karlsson have created exhibitions and workshops that begin from the soulful nature as a starting point: to talk about sustainability, climate and the nature as a reality that does not only hold the human experience. In aghili/karlsson’s Jangal, there are fairies, dens, the Tree of Life and moss to lie down or sit on. As usual, they wish the exhibition to be a place for interaction, play and reflection. All objects are created for the visitors to exist within, where mutual respect creates a sense of responsibility that also carries generosity and an exchange of secrets.&nbsp; [local-style="37800904"] { display: none !important; } https://aghili-karlsson.se/Viskningar Tue, 28 Nov 2023 15:54:37 +0000 aghili/karlsson https://aghili-karlsson.se/Viskningar Viskningar (Whispers) Heden Sports Arena, Gothenburg (Sweden) Inauguration: 6 October 2023 <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d230e96ffb0f4f462421932df9039bc887e5b3abf3680bdfe9241de133eb6c1b/IMG_0130.jpeg" data-mid="198065652" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d230e96ffb0f4f462421932df9039bc887e5b3abf3680bdfe9241de133eb6c1b/IMG_0130.jpeg" /> <img width="5708" height="3643" width_o="5708" height_o="3643" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/75c12bac9c7cead5bef76fdf3eedb9609f648cb909d507165dc780a0201d162e/DSC01927.JPG" data-mid="198065640" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/75c12bac9c7cead5bef76fdf3eedb9609f648cb909d507165dc780a0201d162e/DSC01927.JPG" /> <img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9ced79693f4d7a8a9c869129fafb59bcfb58c78d72004d7277edf7d9e7b71fdc/DSC01956.JPG" data-mid="198065644" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9ced79693f4d7a8a9c869129fafb59bcfb58c78d72004d7277edf7d9e7b71fdc/DSC01956.JPG" /> <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/74e4dd55b8aab5caa97160193177bd6fef4e989a78eeb20fe46a43e6fa1d893c/IMG_0026-2.jpeg" data-mid="198065647" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/74e4dd55b8aab5caa97160193177bd6fef4e989a78eeb20fe46a43e6fa1d893c/IMG_0026-2.jpeg" /> <img width="4032" height="2510" width_o="4032" height_o="2510" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6323a8e564fbbe6c14252afa18e8fef6487e8c61108a667e2df367787f7cdf5d/IMG_0110.jpeg" data-mid="198065651" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6323a8e564fbbe6c14252afa18e8fef6487e8c61108a667e2df367787f7cdf5d/IMG_0110.jpeg" /> <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/265a6541727f7f8cddb381cb8706cd1f0b09b68ae50ca6e3ced3bb2b98572053/IMG_0037.jpeg" data-mid="198065648" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/265a6541727f7f8cddb381cb8706cd1f0b09b68ae50ca6e3ced3bb2b98572053/IMG_0037.jpeg" /> <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3781c7e590e658e7095d50094b2e469f0f2457edcdbe776d73b08a34e21875a8/IMG_0002.jpeg" data-mid="198065645" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3781c7e590e658e7095d50094b2e469f0f2457edcdbe776d73b08a34e21875a8/IMG_0002.jpeg" /> <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/279d536e9eb50b5d1eabce4e43213b7f5a4395f6696a990b58837f10a109f8e7/IMG_0073-2.jpeg" data-mid="198065649" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/279d536e9eb50b5d1eabce4e43213b7f5a4395f6696a990b58837f10a109f8e7/IMG_0073-2.jpeg" /> <img width="4853" height="3893" width_o="4853" height_o="3893" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/03a9e93c0b27f126a3f38d18b9c42b36740562a7f8f3f92d134ba4c0925ba687/DSC01942.JPG" data-mid="198065642" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/03a9e93c0b27f126a3f38d18b9c42b36740562a7f8f3f92d134ba4c0925ba687/DSC01942.JPG" /> <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/88824d119a64e66cd8dded165c0cc8636acb48a5063b2ae632f8970ddcc65392/IMG_0025.jpeg" data-mid="198065646" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/88824d119a64e66cd8dded165c0cc8636acb48a5063b2ae632f8970ddcc65392/IMG_0025.jpeg" /> Foto: aghili/karlsson Tack till alla queera göteborgare som viskat era berättelser! Thanks to all the queers in Gothenburg who has whispered your stories! Viskningar är ett verk som samlar röster från queera personer i Göteborg om sportminnen. Vittnesmål som likt klotter, som läktare ofta interageras med, blir en påminnelse om alla historier som inte ryms i den traditionella berättelsen om Heden och bollsporten, men som alltid existerar i mellanrummen. Historier som både rymmer glädje och sorg, besvikelse och hopp. Både stunder av gemensamhet och en önskan om att bli inkluderad. aghili/karlssons verk som sträcker sig över stora delar av läktarens sittplatser i ett återkommande mönster, vill återge röster som lämnats kvar på platsen. Röster som vittnar om olika språk, olika könsidentiteter och olika erfarenheter. Sammantaget skapar dessa röster ett minnesverk över bollsportens potential och platsens betydelse över tid och igenom kroppars delaktighet. Heden är en plats som förenar och som rymmer berättelser och minnen av både sportens inkluderande och exkluderande mekanismer. Genom att ge dessa minnen och vittnesmål utrymme att höras/läsas/viskas får fler kroppar plats att sitta. Anledningen till att vi valt att göra rosa trianglar är för att dessa påminner om det värsta som hänt HBTQI-personer (i och med att rosa trianglar var den symbol som queers tvingades på under förintelsen) och den fantastiska kamp för överlevnad detta community alltid slår tillbaka med (den rosa triangeln är också symbolen för ACT UP-rörelsen som startade i och med aids-epidemin och avsaknaden av officiella skyddsnät för människor som blev sjuka och gick bort). Därför är detta ett minnesverk, en hyllning till det som varit och ett framåtblickande där queers tillåts ta större plats och en samlad röst i tider där rättigheter ifrågasätts och politiseras. Att de rosa trianglarna skapar ett mönster som kallas ”Muska” eller ”Nazarlik” och som på turkiska betyder ”Amulett” är för att aghili/karlsson i sina verk alltid vill inkludera visuella traditioner och associationer som människor med olika kulturella bakgrunder känner igen sig i. För många är denna symbol ett skydd mot onda ögat. För många känns också detta mönster igen från mattor och detta hoppas vi skapar en känsla av hem - ett underlag som alla är välkomna att slå sig ner på. Whispers is a work of a collection of voices from queer people in Gothenburg about their sports memories. Testimonies, like scribblings which bleachers are often interacted with, become a reminder of all the stories that do not fit into the traditional narrative of Heden and ball sports - but has always existed in the in-between spaces. Stories that contain both joy and sadness, disappointment and hope. Moments both of togetherness and a desire to be included. aghili/karlsson's work, which extends in a recurring pattern across the majority of the bleachers, wants to reproduce voices that have been left behind on the site. Voices that bear witness to different languages, different gender identities and different experiences. Collectively, these voices create a memorial of the potential of ball sports, and the place’s importance over time and through the participation of bodies. Heden is a place that unites, holds stories and memories of both the inclusive and exclusive mechanisms of sport. By giving these memories and testimonies space to be heard/read/whispered, allows more bodies a place to sit. The reason we chose to make pink triangles is because these remind us of the worst that happened to LGBTQI people (in that pink triangles were the symbol that queers were forced to wear during the Holocaust). It reminds us of the amazing fight for survival this community continuously put up with (the pink triangle is also the symbol of the ACT UP movement that began with the AIDS epidemic and the lack of official safety nets for people who got sick and died). This is therefore a work of memory, a tribute to what has been and what is ahead: where queers are allowed to take up more space and to have a collective voice in times where queer rights are questioned and politicised. The pink triangles create a pattern called "Muska" or “Nazarlik", which in Turkish means “Amulet”. That is because aghili/karlsson always wants to include in their work visual traditions and associations that people from different cultural backgrounds are familiar with. For many people, this symbol is a protection against the evil eye. For many people, this pattern is also recognisable from carpets. We hope this creates a feeling of home - a surface that everyone is welcome to settle down on.

In dialogue with the queer and postcolonial philosopher Sara Ahmed's ideas about points of orientation, situations and spatial commonalities are created that orient us away from prevailing hierarchical (and violent) interactions. In collaboration with the American urbanist Jess Myers, conditions are formulated for conversation and work around the concept of "regional solidarity" which stands in opposition to the dichotomy urban-rural. Reorientations has its starting point in the public space of the rural areas of Södertälje county and is the initiation of a thematic artist-run residency program. For the first edition, four artists from Sweden, Sápmi, Lebanon and Mexico, who are interested in questions concerning decoloniality, farming and ritual performative practices, were invited to attend a residency at aghili/karlsson's studio and their garden. During the residency the artists meet horticulturalists, artists, botanists and residents of Södertälje and work towards a healing ritual that emerges from the place of the residency. The healing ritual was brought to a table, created by aghili/karlsson which were placed in (a) public space; nature reserves, fields and forests. At the table a performative conversation took place between the artist-in-residence and invited guests. Reorientations is a continuation of the duo's work Safar – a performance series that revolves around utopian realities and takes invited guests and participants on a journey from central Stockholm to the duo's studio in the countryside outside Södertälje. Read more about Safar&nbsp;here Reorientations is supported by Kulturrådet/Swedish Art Council, Konstnärsnämnden/The Swedish Arts Grants Committee, Region Stockholm and in collaboration with Södertälje Konsthall. The table and the video versions of the performance conversations were exhibited at Södertälje Konsthall during September (2023). The performance conversations are now available to be experienced below. Please note: This is a 360-viewing experience. On desktop, you can explore the 360 video with your mouse or arrow keys.

(360 video playback is not currently supported in any mobile browsers for iOS) Participants: Cecilia Germain, Otilia Björndahl Joao, Sarasvati Shrestha, Nasim Aghili The conversation between Cecilia and her invited guests starts with a ritual, by Cecilia called A Collective Afrofuturistic Libation. Cecilia puts four Vinca Minor in the ground next to the table. The table is placed in a grove outside of aghili/karlsson’s garden. For Cecilia this plant is a symbol and a guide in understanding the complex history of her black heritage, centered around survival and a respectful symbiotic relationship to plant life. After the ritual a conversation continues about land/soil in relation to diaspora and through cultivating as practice. Participants: Dima Mabsout, Sarasvati Shrestha, Rami Khoury, Nasim Aghili, Björn Karlsson Around the table, situated in a forest in Tullgarns nature reserve, sits Dima Mabsout and guests. They have walked there together using the moss, the trees, movement, the camera and Sara Ahmed as points of orientation. Dima starts the conversation by asking the guests how they use their artistic practice and personal history as orientation in relation to migration, the connection to soil and the dichotomy rural/urban. Participants: Timimie Gassko Märak, Pussel Akatåps, Moa Johansson, Nasim Aghili What’s the best thing with your queerness? The conversation between Timimie Gassko Märak and their friends starts with this question. Around the table, placed in a field in Yttereneby nature reserve, next to the ocean, a coffee ritual and a duodji hangout is played out. The conversation between the four participants centers their queerness - especially in relation to identity as a multi-minoritized person or raised in a rural setting - and how these experiences are expressed through clothes, crafts and community. Participants: Vreni Michelini Castillo, Rossana Mercado-Rojas, Nasim Aghili, Björn Karlsson Vreni Michelini Castillo invites their guests to the table, this time situated in a field in Hölö outside of Södertälje. The conversation raises questions about the participants' connections to rituals, collective celebrations and the historic and contemporary violence of colonialism and its consequences on both everyday life and on the spiritual landscapes of the guests. The conversation ends with Vreni presenting a sonic landscape capturing field recordings of Järna/Södertälje county, music from aghili/karlsson’s vinyl collection and quotes from books capturing the thematic undercurrents of the project Reorientations. <img width="2736" height="3648" width_o="2736" height_o="3648"

During one afternoon, the participants worked on their own project they brought with, or allowed the opportunity to learn a new skill, while conversing around the idea of finding new ways of communicating when invited into a space where one is safe to just be. BIO Timimie Gassko Märak puts just as much in between the lines they write as in the words they choose to share. Like them, their poetry is a combination of deep roots and connections, read at a big city pace. Speaker, poet and word weaver recently published in «Čatnosat. The Sámi Pavilion, Indigenous Art, Knowledge and Sovereignty.» and the first to hold the title of "Poet In Residence" at the Venice biennale. Together with ‘The Sámi Pavilion’ curators Beaska Niillas and Liisa-Rávná Finbog, Märak is also one of the three founding members of Hásstuheaddji collective, a Sámi led think-tank that gather thinkers, performers and artists to dialogue and reflect. They are the initiator of "Queerness and culture" a project created to combine the connection between generations learning from each other when passing on traditions with creating traditional regalia for queer and gender non conforming Sámis. &nbsp; DIMA MABSOUT <img width="956" height="854" width_o="956" height_o="854" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/93326f92c93d4504ec24138e0c373370158f90dbc92c859d9ce2f4e37c39f4ff/Screenshot-2023-05-08-at-15.57.14.png" data-mid="178040004" border="0" data-scale="37" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/956/i/93326f92c93d4504ec24138e0c373370158f90dbc92c859d9ce2f4e37c39f4ff/Screenshot-2023-05-08-at-15.57.14.png" /> The walk At the end of the residency, Dima invited people to join a walk from Södertälje to Hölö crossing the 25km distance from the urban to the rural. Throughout the day, they walked with intention - as a meditation, a pilgrimage, a performative practice - with several pauses to engage with different sites, landscapes and in between spaces as they revisit our relationship to home. The day ended with a dinner at the house, a bonfire and a closing ritual. The conversation Dima brought the experience of the walk to the table to open up a conversation about migration, our relationship to land, territory, and the relativity of distance between communities. What role do artistic practices have in reimagining and reshaping our relationships? We will build on Sara Ahmed’s thoughts on ‘re-orientations’, as well as the personal experience and backgrounds of those gathered around the table. BIO Dima Mabsout is interested in how the arts can traverse borders, bridging between people, experiences, environments, and across social structures. Through interdisciplinary approaches, with focus on installation work, filmmaking, and performance, her practice focuses on educational and collaborative experiences that seek ways of relating we have not yet imagined. Currently based in Lebanon, she is part of Catalytic Action Design studio, Zayraqoun collective and several other cultural, social and educational initiatives.

A place I had no connection to. But I carried my mother's legacy with me. She enjoyed farming and I brought her pallet collars and a book by Lena Israelsson with me. I just did and it paid off. So that's how it started in 2009. For me, it began as a way of claiming space - to farm on foreign land.”For the conversation, Cecilia brought four Vinca minor - a plant that for her functions as a symbol and tool for guidance toward a multifaceted history - and planted these in the ground of where the conversation took place. On the table, Cecilia had placed in a formation a few glasses containing water. In a ritual to invoking her ancestor from the African continent and the diaspora, the water was charged with several generations of knowledge and wisdom before it was used to water the newly planted Vinca minor. BIO Cecilia Germain is a Swedish-Canadian artist, educated at Konstfack in Stockholm and since 2005 works with questions and processes around power structures, historiography,memory work, grief, public health, spiritual- and healing practices. In several pieces, Germain has focused on places, events and people’s relation to plants in the wake of colonial economies through olfactory works from botanical material where plants function as the link between soil/place and people's lives, traditions and visions. These were the themes in, for example, the work "Becoming Palmares" (Botkyrka art gallery 2021) where Germain throughout the exhibition period cultivated about thirty plants from seed that become a living botanical archive - a specific flora that can be connected to both the African continent but also the rich cultures of the African diaspora and multi-faceted knowledge of health, nutrition and medicine. Cecilia Germain's interests and perspectives as an artist often stem from her own experience of belonging to the minority DOCS (Descendants of Chattel Slavery), the diaspora that came out of it the transatlantic slave trade. In addition to fragrance and archives, Germain also works with analog photography, graphic print, painting, performative and site responsive art, installation and text. Her works are represented in the Modern Museum's collection. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; [local-style="37800904"] { display: none !important; } https://aghili-karlsson.se/Kojan Thu, 25 May 2023 08:11:30 +0000 aghili/karlsson https://aghili-karlsson.se/Kojan Kojan Österängens konsthall, part of Smålandstriennalen (Sweden) Spring 2023 <img width="768" height="1024" width_o="768" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d749b7c010a1e88d4e9e20138e21a75a542b81a70f6e0a87829013d6866b813d/IMG-20230525-WA0011.jpg" data-mid="179907036" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/768/i/d749b7c010a1e88d4e9e20138e21a75a542b81a70f6e0a87829013d6866b813d/IMG-20230525-WA0011.jpg" /> <img width="768" height="1024" width_o="768" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5ffba3aad64c759d2719040d4f5b14ff978faf0b8e8fc3c93f148fa46130ebc9/IMG-20230525-WA0001.jpg" data-mid="179907266" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/768/i/5ffba3aad64c759d2719040d4f5b14ff978faf0b8e8fc3c93f148fa46130ebc9/IMG-20230525-WA0001.jpg" /> <img width="768" height="1024" width_o="768" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/165ad03c5061162e9add0d50e018363637842f3d75e97abcd7eda1d0bb5f1809/IMG-20230525-WA0004.jpg" data-mid="179906789" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/768/i/165ad03c5061162e9add0d50e018363637842f3d75e97abcd7eda1d0bb5f1809/IMG-20230525-WA0004.jpg" /> <img width="768" height="1024" width_o="768" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9a29c7009d3a5c447c5be39a48d0afa34c7f87d0d7fabf96884ac3194c9afc08/IMG-20230525-WA0002.jpg" data-mid="179907280" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/768/i/9a29c7009d3a5c447c5be39a48d0afa34c7f87d0d7fabf96884ac3194c9afc08/IMG-20230525-WA0002.jpg" /> <img width="1024" height="768" width_o="1024" height_o="768" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b2a44e1cc21a3c0468a9bcd988a3ecd64c7ea7b49ce4cdc3504cfecdd9838588/IMG-20230525-WA0003.jpg" data-mid="179907018" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b2a44e1cc21a3c0468a9bcd988a3ecd64c7ea7b49ce4cdc3504cfecdd9838588/IMG-20230525-WA0003.jpg" /> <img width="768" height="1024" width_o="768" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/50a22c84ac762d60cab0e623eae7ee68a793afa27804da955f27e63d50a8fbdd/IMG-20230525-WA0008.jpg" data-mid="179907013" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/768/i/50a22c84ac762d60cab0e623eae7ee68a793afa27804da955f27e63d50a8fbdd/IMG-20230525-WA0008.jpg" /> Foto: aghili/karlsson The artist duo aghili/karlsson and their fellow artist collaborators from the kindergarten HallonEtt in Huskvarna have created a work in three parts aimed at children and fairies. The work consists of a flowering meadow, an interactive gate that leads into the meadow and ‘kojan’ - a stick house that visitors can continue to build on during the summer. The gate is just high enough for fairies and small children to pass through. It consists of detachable watering cans that one can use to water the flowers of the meadow. One reaches the ‘kojan’ located on the meadow through a serpentine path. Its shape reflects the “fikakojan” (coffee hut) that the children at HallonEtt have built themselves at the Pustaleden.Read more about the project here. <img width="768" height="1024" width_o="768" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4d1c4527899b4fadf1a30ea94e111208745c8a7775b87d0028f6182b1c6bb47b/IMG-20230525-WA0013.jpg" data-mid="179907038" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/768/i/4d1c4527899b4fadf1a30ea94e111208745c8a7775b87d0028f6182b1c6bb47b/IMG-20230525-WA0013.jpg" /> [local-style="37800904"] { display: none !important; } https://aghili-karlsson.se/Safar Tue, 27 Sep 2022 09:00:39 +0000 aghili/karlsson https://aghili-karlsson.se/Safar Safar Moving with dreams,wastelands and our utopian realities <img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ab34d298196d97c3ffbf0e136c4688075d42c4765410950300dd50d9e539f856/DSCF3005.jpeg" data-mid="154173019" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ab34d298196d97c3ffbf0e136c4688075d42c4765410950300dd50d9e539f856/DSCF3005.jpeg" /> Safar* is a series of performances in public space. These performances are talks between activists, thinkers, witches and artists about anarchy, strategy, possible utopian realities and the spaces our bodies inhabit. Dreams practiced. In wastelands and gardens of exiles. Outside or parallel or beyond the patriarchal, capitalist, heterosexist, colonial, hegemonic order there are realities of sisterhood, love, collaboration, care, hope and community. Sharing influence and not taking power. In solidarity. In Safar the duo aghili/karlsson invites sisters they admire. They ask them to share parts of their lives and their visions in a travelling talk, moving from the center of Stockholm to the duo’s studio in the rural areas on the edge of the city. A participatory travel where others can join in moving, talking and sharing a meal. *farsi for journey.

Through Safar, I find a component of their practice rooted in presence, in gathering and in the acceptance and embrace of the simple yet, fundamental axiom: ‘we need each other’. The ‘we’ in Safar is not undifferentiated, it is specific and intentional. It includes ‘activists, thinkers, witches and artists’ and others who have in common dreams and desires of re-existence rooted in sisterhood, love, collaboration, care, hope, community and solidarity. To partake in Safar, one arrives to the Pendeltåg’s track three at Stockholm City at 13:15. (Although it is a Sunday, there is still the air of chaos and instability that accompanies being in a public space, especially one as central as Stockholms City.) I walk along the platform in search of those I will be travelling and communing with. I find them and I am instantly greeted by the warmth of Nasim and Björn. It is a warmth that opens the day, with which we enter the train, and in which we cocoon for the journey and navigate the collective commute. While cocooned we are wrapped in nourishing worlds of critique, of imagining, where love is the rule. While enveloped we hear the muffled sounds of the parallel world; the train’s voice announcing the next stop and the hushed conversations of walkers-by on their respective journeys. We are reminded that our journey is a world, and consists of worlds, where existences and living, for the time being especially, are crafted in spite of/because of/otherwise to a World that would rather exist alone, proclaiming, ‘there is no alternative!’ But there is. Safar reminds us that the alternatives are plenty and they co-exist and seek to learn from each other. Safar is impossible without aghili/karlsson, primarily because of the hope, the care and kindness they inspire and with which they hold and sustain the journey from Stockholms City to Järna. To craft a space like this, filled with testimony and witnessing, a space where we can hold each other even if only for four hours on a wintery and dark Sunday afternoon is no easy feat. Safar opens the space for the kind of relationality necessitated by a decolonial and/or anticolonial love and allows us to find each other against the logics that would separate us.1 It also necessitates that once we arrive, and as we travel together, we are each implicated, enmeshed. The speakers are generous in their sharing and open up life-giving conversations that inspire deep self-reflection: how may I reconfigure my existence to also be life-giving? As a participant, I felt called to a gentle unravelling and, in this space of mutual learning, gently stirred to becoming aware of the limits that exist inside me: where inside me does love not grow? What of the mechanisms of my inner world puts me out of alignment with the dreams and utopias I hope to co-create? If we often find in some artistic practices proposals and imaginations of the future as desolate apocalyptic landscapes, as out there, aghili/karlsson posits something different. They implore our imagination and our doing toward worlds and living where breathing is more effortless, even if underwater or in wastelands. They implore us toward a present lived in radical hope, a present where utopian dreams may be practised, while holding on to each other.1.&nbsp; Irmgard Emmelhainz in ‘Can We Share a World Beyond Representation?’, E-Flux, no. 106 (February 2020), https://www.e-flux.com/journal/106/314167/can-we-share-a-world-beyond-representation/ and ‘Decolonial Love’, E-Flux, no. 99 (April 2019), https://www.e-flux.com/journal/99/262398/decolonial-love/ has been instructive for my thinking here. https://aghili-karlsson.se/Jangal-Botkyrka-konsthall Tue, 27 Sep 2022 09:00:37 +0000 aghili/karlsson https://aghili-karlsson.se/Jangal-Botkyrka-konsthall Jangal: Botkyrka konsthall Botkyrka konsthall (Sweden)October 2021 -

I Botkyrka konsthall välkomnas besökare in till en skog som direkt inspirerats av duons samarbete med lågstadieelever i Botkyrka. Barnen har bjudit in konstnärerna till lekar och delat med sig av hemligheter och tröstande samspel med grannskapets skogar. Det är en berättelse att lyssna till med fötterna och uppleva med händerna. I Jangal, konstens skog, rör vi oss efter kroppens minnen. Här finns älvbon, balansträd, klätterskulpturer och kojor som ljuder av poesi. Och med fantasins kraft kan vi föreställa oss andra världar och relationer, bortom den verklighet där endast människan står i centrum och där naturens resurser exploateras. Konstnärsduon aghili/karlsson vill lyfta in skogen i konstens rum och konsten ut i det offentliga rummet, som en början till ett samtal om klimat, gemensamhet och fantasins förmåga att tillsammans skapa något nytt. En saga växer fram, och till våren spirar även konstens magi runt om i Fittja genom tusentals planterade krokusar som viskar utställningsbesökarnas namn. Våren 2021 träffade aghili/karlsson lågstadiebarn i Botkyrka som visade duon sina favoritlekar och ritualer i skogen.&nbsp;Jangal tar avstamp i dessa möten och i aghili/karlssons tidigare samarbeten med främst nordamerikanska aktivister och konstnärer som arbetar med klimat- och rättvisefrågor för och med barn. &nbsp;Under 2021 hade aghili/karlsson även en vistelse i Botkyrka konsthalls ateljéprogram Residence Botkyrka, där de odlade örter och bjöd in till teritualer vid lägenheten på Krögarvägen 26.

With Şaneşîn, Nasim Aghili, Björn Karlsson and the Council of United Creoles have transformed Hässelby into a place that reflects grievability. A society is a weave of innumerable stories but history is often written as only one. Not seeing and hearing the full story can mean mortal danger for people who are not seen and heard, as well as a major loss for the majority culture that owns the dominant narrative. When artists Nasim Aghili and Björn Karlsson, in collaboration with the Council of United Creoles, initiated their work in Hässelby the central question was which bodies are permitted to make their mark in the urban space. Which experiences are allowed to be seen? The Stockholm suburbs Hässelby and Vällingby feature much public art that reflects an idea of a 1950s populated by a relatively homogenous working class. The amphitheatre Şaneşîn provides our contemporary age with a representation. Şaneşîn reflects the Creole experience, which encompasses migration, multilingualism and an anti-racist struggle. The circle of stones, the brick-built benches, and the mulberry bushes evoke a majestic expression. Mounted on a text-clad pole supporting a solar cell, a loudspeaker emits the sound of Maya Angelou’s poem Still I Rise. Şaneşîn is a stage where grievability and resistance are displayed as everyday actions.” /Public Art AgencyPhoto: Ricard Estay (Public Art Agency) *Şaneşîn, kurdish for pavillion, balcony or the place where kings sit.aghili/karlsson were one of the artists/groups participating in Public Art Agency Sweden’s project Art is Happening, together with the community based association Rådet av Enade Kreoler in Hässelby-Vällingby. Together we worked on questions around autonomy, sustainibility and meeting places in Hässelby and Vällingby, mirroring the knowledge and experience of the Creole identity. The collaborative work resulted in the permanent piece Şaneşîn* – parts of an amphiteatre made by Iranian travertine and Swedish (Ölandsten) a limestone + a solar panel driven poem by Maya Angelou everyday at 5 pm.Info about Rådet av Enade Kreoler: https://www.facebook.com/enadekreoler Info about Art is Happening: https://publicartagencysweden.com/konst/art-is-happening/on-art-is-happening/ &nbsp; [local-style="37800904"] { display: none !important; }
