Design: NODE Berlin Oslo
Alongside the exhibition's artists, we are proud to invite you to a number of exciting events during the exhibition period of Kunna Guanna Concha!
Kunna Guanna Concha brings together works by artists Sissel M. Bergh, Carolina Caycedo, and Elin Már Øyen Vister, in a collaborative project initiated by Øyen Vister. The exhibition focuses on matriarchal lineages and aims to bring forth Indigenous, queer, and eco-feminist perspectives that have largely been excluded from the Western historical canon. The exhibition's public program is curated by the artists in collaboration with Kunsthall Trondheim’s Program Curator Carl Martin Rosenkilde Faurby.
All events are free* to join and take place at Kunsthall Trondheim <3

Kunna Guanna Concha and it's official program is Kunsthall Trondheim’s contribution to the Queer Cultural Year 2022.
Queer Cultural Year: 2022 marks the 50 year anniversary of decriminalisation of sex between men in Norway, when section 213 in the Norwegian Penal Code was lifted. In order to address this, Skeivt arkiv, the National Museum and the National Library will collaborate to communicate and discuss queer art, culture and history all over Norway.
