In February 2024 Index had a conversation with Sandi Hilal about heritage, refugee camps, society, war, Gaza and destruction. Sandi Hilal runs – together with Alessandro Petti – DAAR, the research practice that received the Golden Lion at the architecture Venice Biennale in 2023. Part of their practice has been focused on the conditions in Palestine and the prolonged temporality represented by the refugee camps.In the course of the conversation, Sandi Hilal talked about knowledge, history, the life of people and its value at this moment when Palestine is the locus of a war with many casualties. In this podcast, Sandi Hilal shares thoughts about adaptability, agency, the future process of repair in Gaza and how life should remain stronger than death. More |
Index Teen Advisory Board (ITAB) is a group of young people, between the ages of 16 and 21, who collectively put together and suggest projects and strategies to develop Index. The board brings together youths with a wide range of experiences, who can approach the question of art’s role in society in an experimental and critical way. ITAB uses listening, discussion and play to critically examine, discuss and reformulate the norms ingrained in the artworld. Right now, we are looking for candidates for this year’s board, so please recommend someone who you think would be suitable for the assignment. More information about the application process can be found on Index’ website. More |
Summer Course at Index Open for Applications
This summer, Index will conduct a course in text as artistic material for the Royal Institute of Art. The course will be led by Index’ Curator of Learning Isabella Tjäder, together with writer, poet and curator Andria Nyberg Forshage, and artist Ruby Nilsson. The course is inspired by autofiction, queer perspectives and contemporary overlaps between poetry, art and literature. It is based on Vaginal Davis’s Hofpfisterei, an exhibition of artist Vaginal Davis’s text works, and is held in situ in the exhibition space at Index. Miss Davis’s texts – from poetry to long form journalism to falsified confessional literature – form a central reference, and course participants will have the opportunity to closely examine texts that have never before been shown in public.More information about the course is available here. |
