Time for another thread about our exhibition! This time Hordaland Kunstsenter, where you'll find «Sick and Desiring», a curatorial contribution by Nora Heidorn. «Sick and Desiring» is an ongoing curatorial research project that asks, how can we politicise sickness and organise around shared vulnerabilities to live the body as a space for resistance?

The project encompasses an exhibition, workshops and screenings.

The exhibition opens tomorrow! Time for a thread highlighting the wonderful artists and contributions at @kodebergen — please note entrance is free. The KODE-part of Bergen Assembly is divided into two parts: SALON and CABINET (political parties). SALON dissolutes an institution that controls and is haunted by the past: the museum. The invention of the modern museum was in parallel with the peak of colonialism, was part of the nation-building processes and their construction of identity and the ‘other’.

The exhibition of Bergen Assembly 2019 takes place at five different locations and public spaces in Bergen. Let's start with @Kunsthall ! The unseen and unheard as well as strategies for making oneself heard and seen play a central role in this part of the exhibition. Voices that did not count for decades and were perceived as mere noise remind us that overcoming oppression is not just about whether someone raises their voice but also whether, how, and as what it is heard.
