In collaboration with the artist in residence programme HULT, IMS is organizing a seminar with our two incoming residents, Sara Rossling and artist group Hillside Projects (see below for brief bios). The residents will be working with Växjö konsthall and other partners in Kronoberg, including Lnuc IMS and potentially other researchers at Linnaeus University, for ten weeks spread out over the remaining part of 2025. During the seminar Sara Rossling and Hillside Projects will present their work, followed by ample time for discussion.
The seminar will be prefaced by a brief introduction to HULT by Filippa de Vos (Region Kronoberg) and to IMS by Beate Schirrmacher(Associate Professor, Department of Film and Literature and part of IMS), and a conversation between Martin Gren (Professor of Human Heography) and Ola Ståhl (Professor of Design and part of IMS), 11.15 am – 12.00 noon (Newton, C-Building), for those of you interested.
It will be followed by a visit to Earth Logic Design Agency at The Cultural University during which Helen Hägglund and Maja Frögård, Postdoc Design will present the project. Those of us interested in joining will walk there together immediately following the end of the seminar.
We look forward to seeing many of you there!
All best,
Ola & Beate (IMS)
Sara Rossling
Sara Rossling is an internationally active curator and writer living in Malmö. Her work is informed by interdisciplinary thinking, feminism, ecologies, and systems expressed through a practice sensitive to artistic processes and dialectic relationships between aesthetics, living creatures, materials, places, histories, and power structures that bring valuable perspectives to her work on exhibitions, discursive projects, and public art. Recent exhibitions include Sites of Passage at Konstnärshuset, Stockholm (2024), Celestial Ripples — Corporeal Rhythms at inter.pblc, Copenhagen curated with SixtyEight Art Institute (2024) and Persistence Through Joy at SOMETHING ELSE III, Off Biennale Cairo, curated with Power Ekroth (2023).

Hillside Projects
HP (Hillside Projects) is an artistic entity. Its members are Emily Berry Mennerdahl & Jonas Böttern. Situated within a conceptual framework, HP investigates the many ways of telling tales with a querying of who should tell them and why. Notions of failure, transformation and acts of listening are explored and the works take their form as lecture performances, video, walks, sound, text and trans-disciplinary collaborations.

HP has performed, screened and presented its work in, amongst others, venues such as Röda sten konsthall(SE), Bonniers konsthall (SE), Oyoun KulturNeuDenken(DE), PhotoKTM 5 (NP), Dazibao (CA), Kristianstad konsthall (SE), International Short Film Festival Oberhausen (DE), SODA2132 (LT).
