DIVE, hosted by Skin Mutts

The publication titled DIVE is a project built to explore the Swedish artistic scene through the eyes of nine Stockholm-based artists and curators. Within each of their practices, the exploration of themes such as personal identity and belonging takes centre stage. DIVE is made in collaboration with Skin Mutts, a Brussels-based platform that focuses on redesigning the conversations on mixed cultural identities. Through firsthand accounts and narratives, Skin Mutts brings a comprehensive understanding of the Swedish art landscape from a variety of perspectives. By shedding light onto the diverse fabric composing this artistic community, we gain valuable insights into how it is shaped, perceived, and experienced by those involved in its evolution. Throughout the evening you will have the chance to deepen your understanding of the topic with the workshop Through Words. Through Words is a conversational workshop to break the ice. Think about a speed-date, but instead of yourself, the questions are focused on community, belonging and society’s perception of our identities. Join us on June 13 at Accelerator for the launch event of the publication, to dive into unique stories of belonging in between worlds.
