We will Kick off Stockholm Craft Week 2024 with an exclusive performance by Nefeli Oikonomou & Undine, and fill a weekend with workshops, artist talks, and an apple pie fika! Last year, Stockholm Craft Week brought together over 21,000 visitors from all over the world. We can’t wait to network and be inspired by the vibrant craft and art community this year!
During Stockholm Craft Week 2024, which runs from October 2-6, Artten Gallery will present the exhibition “When Craft Becomes Music and Its Consequences.” We have two special guests, Nefeli Oikonomou (Greece/Sweden) and Sölen Kipöz (Turkey). Additionally, we will introduce the female artist collective Women of Artten, who use crafts for social impact. The project is funded by the Swedish Institute.
In the exhibition “When Craft Becomes Music and Its Consequences” the transition from craft to music is explored, and visitors are invited to become co-creators. Artten Gallery will transform into a living installation with threads, fabrics and nets, alluding to various musical instruments. Explore your inner world beyond words to transform conflict, sorrow, and trauma into music together with others. Can we thus create a more peaceful future?
