You are invited to a one-day conference on art and civil society, organized by Konsthall C in collaboration with the Nordic network Parasympathetic Beings*. This event calls for all cultural actors invested in their immediate neighborhoods that are interested in a strategic conversation around the role of noise in public space.
10.00: Keynote presentations by Lotta Nordlander (co-founder of queer bar Bitter Pills), Madeleine Hatz (artist and activist)
13.00: Artistic intervention in public space, by Madeleine Hatz
In times of joy and crisis, groups and individuals are taking to the streets, at times making life uncomfortable for those whose plans to and from work are changed. But noise, as visual and aural disturbance, is also carefully executed by public power as Stockholm is ever growing, deeper and wider. Billboards, buses, car stereos, tourists, rock concerts, road work, street fights, drunks, Free Palestine! Noise is in a sense what breaks the line, and sometimes makes the day. While Swedish culture historically has revolved around the domestic sphere, there is potential in - and an urgent calling for - a vibrant public space.
This event is supported by the Nordic Council of Ministers and The European Union.
