Join us for breakfast and meet IASPIS – the Swedish Arts Grants Committee’s International Programme for Visual and Applied Arts.

Coffee and breakfast will be served.

Presentations by Lena Malm, Head of Visual Arts, and Corina Oprea, IASPIS Guest Curator, together with the three international artists currently in residence in Stockholm:

  • Francesca Gattello (Italy) – social designer and researcher whose participatory, site-committed work explores material culture, minor vernacular heritage, and collective uses of shared resources. During her residency, she continues developing The Kitchen as a Heterotopia, a project connecting food, space and diasporic communities across multiple geographies.
  • Jason Wee (Singapore) – artist and writer whose work moves between art, architecture, poetry and photography, focusing on hidden histories, multiplicity and queer futures. His residency continues long-term research into the cannibal figure, regional histories and Asian collections in Sweden, alongside new writing and performance research.
  • Alicja Wysocka (Poland) – interdisciplinary artist working with performance, video and installation. Her projects choreograph collective experiences that examine how intimacy, care and solidarity can operate as political tools. At IASPIS, she develops Last Commune, a transdisciplinary investigation into the afterlives of communal living and cooperative structures.
