As part of the art project High Sensitivity Media Group at Astrid Noack's Atelier (15 September - 12 October) we will host a reading group centering on the book 'After Accountability: A Critical Genealogy of a Concept' by Pinko Collective (2023). The book is "An oral history and critical genealogy of “accountability,” the complex abolitionist concept that pushes us to ask: just what do we mean by 'community?'" Read more about the book here:

High Sensitivity Media Group is initiated by visual artist and researcher Kajsa Dahlberg (SE/NO) and writer, art critic, and researcher Frida Sandström (SE/DK). The project is manifested in two parts at Astrid Noack’s Atelier during 2025-2026 and departs from Dahlberg’s research on film’s capacity to disrupt our preestablished modes of attention, and thereby to help us imagine something that is beyond what we think we can see; and Sandström’s writing practice and research in feminist consciousness-raising transcription practices in the era of sexual liberation in Italy in the late 1960s and early 1970s Italy. Moreover, the project draws on practices of organic psychodynamic group therapy, developed by Lisbeth W. Sørensen – an important source for the autonomous and queer milieu in Copenhagen for more than two decades. We see these methods illuminated today by a younger generation of therapists, artists, writers, and feminists, and we see ourselves as part of that movement. Considering the relations between oral history, feminist consciousness-raising and anti-psychiatric group practices, we want to engage in the mediations of these practices, not as reproductions of events, but as an integrated part of collective action. The group therapy model becomes reminiscent of the collective work of art.
