Searching for a new common one, we invited four artists who had to migrate by force of circumstances. Taken from their usual context, they create art at the crossroads of different languages and cultures. We asked them to challenge today’s agenda through the personal and the political. Four projects by artists with different backstories will be shown in a window, one after the other, over a month.

The series of exhibitions takes place at the entrance to Fridhemsplan metro station (Fridhemsgatan). It’s on view 24/7 during the exhibitions. The Art Window at Fridhemsplan run by DUO Contradiction Collective is a unique space in a hybrid format between an exhibition and public art. It is a perfect place for personal artistic expression at the intersection of human flows and different contexts.
