We are now in the final week of our ongoing exhibition Nectar by Xaviera Simmons. Xaviera talks about her experience creating work based on the unique archive image belonging to the 130-year-old magazine AFRO American, a magazine created from a black perspective:


"Making images is a form of liberation. It took me a while to actually see the AFRO images and they are now lodged inside my body. I recognize gestures, I recognize people at the interior of these images like my family and my friends. In the gesture, in the fact of holding the archive in my hands, I would not say that I recognize an identity, but I recognize something familiar. I love this idea of a collection that has been loved and held for so long that it becomes spiritually familiar." Xaviera Simmons is currently having a solo exhibition at the Queens museum in New York. Many of the questions that the exhibition Nectar carries are recognized in the exhibition Crisis Makes a Book Club where Xaviera Simmons challenges individuals and museums to show their commitment to justice.

New exhibition with Gabo Camnitzer

Exhibition period: Novermber 26–December 11


Konst i förskolan (art in the preschool) is one of Sweden's largest exhibition projects by and for children. The project has been carried out by Konsthall C since 2011 together with Farsta District.. Workshops are held for preschool staff and children's groups, and an exhibition is created by, with and for the children.


The projects are thematically linked to the art gallery's artistic program and Konsthall C's artistic director Ulrika Flink chose to invite the artist Gabo Camnitzer this year. Camnitzer, who has long worked with art and children in various ways in his practice, has developed the project Varför? (Sätt örat mot marken och berätta vad du hör).


The project celebrates children's curiosity, the ability to think independently and not least the question Why.
