The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born.

Antonio Gramsci

The exhibition is developed in the context of a course initiated by Lina Selander for students at Konstfack. The research and work leading up to the exhibition has been generously supported by the Swedish Museum of Natural History and Hägerstensåsens Medborgarhus.

You are invited to embark on a journey exploring the fluid intersections between the spiritual realm, reality, and existence. Throughout the various spaces of Medborgarhuset, the artists invite us to reevaluate our relationship with the unknown. Spirituality, dreaming, and contemplation intertwine, challenging the understanding of our wavering consciousness.

Free entry, no pre-registration required.
