Performance

Anna Koch is a dancer and choreographer as well as the artistic director and founder of Weld. In her artistic work, she moves through different practices and fields. Her work ranges from performance to movement-based choreographies, word- and text-based works and video.

Arijana Kajfes often moves in the circular with the eternal questions about being, perception and the constantly eluding understanding. She often sees the work, whether it is sculpture, video, light, sound, as a result of this fundamental movement. She will reuse her software Mother Tongue, created in 2010 (with programmer Fredrik Bridell) where she has recorded the phonetic alphabet, the world’s different language sounds, which can be randomly generated in her own tongue. In the performance at Marabouparken, she will use AI that she has trained to interpret the language sounds and translate them into English.

Mother Tongue has also been used in one of Sillanpää’s releases by saatuma*kustantamo in 2012 in the CD box set Heavy Curtains (with Peter Cederblom).

Beata Berggren b.1976, lives in Stockholm, poet, translator and one of the editors of the poetry publisher Chateaux. Her latest book is Kontaktkartor (Chateaux, 2025).

Heidi Edström (b. 1990 in Luleå) is a Stockholm-based artist who works with performance, installation, sculpture, text, image and sound. Her practice revolves around desire, anxiety, bodily processes and the search as a drive, often through a language and material that chops, leaks, repeats itself and slides between humor, discomfort and absurdity. She is educated at Konstfack and is active in artist-driven initiatives such as Fylkingen and Best Before Collective, and in the performance group Kulturprofilerna.

Malin Arnedotter Bengtsson received her MFA in Bergen in 2022 and has exhibited at Studio 17 in Stavanger and Vallentuna Kulturhus in Sweden, and participated in group exhibitions in Armenia, Belgium and the USA. She has also shown performance at Moderna Museet, ArkDes and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm.

Johanna de Verdier moves between installation, sculpture and performance. Her works often take the form of tools and instruments that are integrated with electronic elements to gain the ability to react to their surroundings. Johanna is currently studying the master’s program in fine arts at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts and has exhibited at Gossamer Fog (UK), SKF Konstnärshuset (SE), Kulturföreningen Kolonin (SE) and KASA Gallery (TUR) among others.
