Featuring work by Kajsa Dahlberg, Miriam Döring, Annike Flo, Sive Hamilton Helle, Eli Maria Lundgaard, malatsion, Lexie Owen, Rebekka Sæter and Ylva Westerlund, this publication was produced following a group residency that explored relationships between body and environment, through an investigation of the impact of chemicals and toxins on human and non-human bodies. It was designed to share aspects of the group’s findings and creative responses with one of the selected participants, Olha Marusyn, who decided to remain in her home country Ukraine after the Russian invasion on February 24, 2022, just a few days before the residency commenced.
PRAKSIS residency 21, Nature Scribbles and Flesh Reads was developed with Kajsa Dahlberg in collaboration with Index - The Swedish Contemporary Art Foundation. It was supported by Arts Council Norway, City of Oslo, The Royal Institute of Art, Stockholm, The Swedish Arts Grants Committee and Goethe Institut.
