A conversation on April 6, 2022, about traces of colonialism in public art and spaces. How can a critical discussion about those traces challenge the presupposed “neutrality” of Sweden? How can artists and researchers work to make critical knowledge about this reach a wider audience?

Participants
Hanni Kamaly, artist
Lena Sawyer, senior lecturer, Department of social work at Gothenburg University
Michael Barrett, curator, Museum of World Culture
Alessandro Petti, professor of architecture and social justice, Royal Institute of Art

The conversation was moderated by Mårten Snickare, professor in art history and the administrative director of Accelerator. It was initiated and arranged by Jelena Jovičić, project leader Art + Research, Accelerator.
