Den Stora Väven
Den Stora Väven - What first began as a question – what can imagination mean in a time of climate crises, war and artificial intelligence? – has now grown into a participatory artwork that has travelled across Sweden.
The tapestry is a metaphor for a time machine; weaving connects us across time and space. Over the course of two days, the audience will create a collective tapestry, with all participants invited to bring something to weave into it. Weavers will be on site to guide and accompany visitors.
Throughout the weekend, storytellers will invite you into conversations around themes such as AI, the power of storytelling, and the art of imagining other ways of living. Listen to a conversation with Pella Thiel about weaving new worlds. Experience GINNUNGAGAP – an interactive storytelling experience with Mikael Öberg and Henrik Hallgren. Take part in A Walk in Deep Time with ecopsychologist Elena Björkäng.
During the event, you will also have the opportunity to encounter the figure known as the Future Oracle, who explores what it means to be human. In the courtyard, you can sit by the fire, take part in ancient craft rituals, and learn about Urd, the goddess of the past who spins the threads of life in the Old Norse world.
