"Medskick" Formkvällsmacka in Örebro with Anna Maria Hellner & Veronica Hejdlelind

Formkvällsmacka at Ateljéhuset F in Örebro. Sign up for the event!

"MEDSKICK to community spaces".

Lecture and in-depth discussion about the exhibition "One last message - greetings from Varberga" by project manager Anna Maria Hellner ÖBO.

Based on the urban development project in Varberga Centrum, new questions are raised about how early art can enter a construction project.
The lecture is about site development where art, design, architecture, urban planning, landscape architecture and garden co-create in the public space.

The group exhibition "Ett sista medskick- hälsningar från Varberga", which runs between April 25 - May 19, is with the artists Ruben Wätte, MASU (Susanne Westerberg and Mattias Gunnarsson) Jenny Käll, Tina Macha and Sabinaz Hakimi. Curated by Veronica Hejdelind and Anna Maria Hellner. With it, they want to highlight how and why art and the artist should be involved from an early stage.

Based on the transformation of Varberga center, a number of parallel art projects have taken shape. Questions that have arisen during the work have been about: How early can art enter a construction project? And what should art do in the early stages? How should everything that is said during a citizens' dialogue, meetings with children and young people be conveyed, passed on, to other important social functions for discussion and decisions? What do we need art for?

The exhibition group invites the visitor to think, discuss and build a place together during the exhibition period and to create new solutions together with the visitor during the exhibition period's open workshops, panel discussions and lectures.

Can integration work?

Birgitta Notlöf talks about her book Livstycket - Hela livet i en väska. It is the story of the 27 years she worked with Livstycket in Tensta.

Thousands of women from all over the world have participated in the association's activities, designing patterns and creating textile art, while studying Swedish and social studies.

"I have seen that it is possible to feel community and belonging. That it is possible to feel welcomed and included in Swedish society. I hope the book can be an inspiration to others who want to make society better for everyone," says Birgitta Notlöf.

The bodice is a garment used in the past by women in Sweden, to provide warmth and support. This is how we wanted our association to be. A warm, safe and supportive place for women, who may not have had access to any other such place outside their own home, and sometimes not even there. We also wanted to be a bit cheeky, colorful and curvy and challenge society's view of immigrant women as a group, Birgitta writes.

Birgitta has brought her new book "Livstycket.Hela livet i en väska" for sale to interested parties.
