  Cotton Sun Mire Through intermittent, durational stays at the Mustarinda residence since 2023, the artist duo Malin Anell & Mar Fjell have expanded their practice of intimacy with and within the Paljakka forest region.

  69°26'48.8‘N 29°55'30.1’E - A Digestion Based on a ritual-lecture held at the Gaivolahaugen in Pasvik, artist Annike Flo put together a photo collage that, rather than presenting the performance, gives a close-up look at what this event, with around 30 participants, came to be about. Sitting together on the ground and watching a textile ‘worm’ being dug out of the soil, dry as sand, sharing stories of violence and injustice, and picking blueberries that had ripened under the polar sun on a bright Thursday afternoon in mid-August.
