Symposium at Bonniers Konsthall: Nightly Blossoms, Tangled Roots, 29–30 May 2026
Among flowering cacti, burning giant hogweed and bleeding mulberries, the exhibition Nocturnal Games by artist Ingela Ihrman invites us to join a sincere desire to get close and linger in borderline states. On the occasion of the exhibition, the two-day international symposium Nightly Blossoms, Tangled Roots gathers influential voices to tangle in conversations on how the intimate and the awkward in multispecies encounters can be understood as sites of both vulnerability and generative possibility.
