Konsthall C, an art institution in a former communal laundry in Hökarängen, emerged in 2004 as a collaboration to foster cultural vitality. Evolving from an artistic experiment, the gallery's status transformed into a permanent fixture, featuring a range of national and international artists. The dynamic program includes exhibitions, events, and long-term projects within and beyond the space. Konsthall C prioritizes socially engaged practices, contributing to justice, democracy, and urban development discussions. The gallery actively connects with Hökarängen's local history, associations, and development, aiming for relevance on local, national, and international levels. Its goals encompass fostering diverse engagement, sustainable operations, and expanding networks and collaborations.
In early 2023 I was approach by artistic director Ulrika Flink to design the gallery's art programs – visual direction throught to final designs across all touchpoints. This lead to an ongoing collaboration with this progressive art gallery.
