A series of radio programmes organized by
Pernilla Fagerlönn och Miriam Vikman

In Välkommaskolan’s assembly hall in Malmberget panel discussions, lectures, music and other stage events with the participation of artists and cultural workers from Malmberget and Gällivare were meant to take place. However, due to the current pandemic and the restrictions that have followed, the live programme has instead transformed into a series of radio shows.

The invited guests reflect on the effects of regeneration, transformation and renegotiation of the local existence, and how it can be possible to grasp and resume all that is at risk of being erased in the process of the disappearance of a place. The programme will also focus on how we, in a collective manner, can contribute to keeping the history of Malmberget alive, how we cure and create new monuments for our communities.

The series is part of Woven Songs, a collaboration with Public Art Agency Sweden.
