- **Event Description**: Credibility, Proximity, and the Nordic Gaze - How Black knowledge is validated or dismissed, and how proximity to whiteness shapes that decision.

Join us for a lecture by Lovette Jallow in Kunstnerforbundet on Thursday June 18 16:00-18:00.

This lecture examines how credibility is assigned in Nordic cultural spaces through tone expectations, demands for legibility, and institutional neutrality as performance. It maps how professionalism operates as a racialised sorting mechanism and offers a framework for recognising extraction disguised as interpretation.

Lovette Jallow is a two-time author and nine-time award-winning speaker, strategist, and advisor based in Stockholm. Published by Norstedts and Bonnier, her writing focuses on Scandinavia and Blackness, including how Nordic institutions assign credibility, belonging, and legibility to Black people and communities. 

The lecture will be held in English. The event is free and open for all.

This event is part of the June Exhibition 2026: Shifting Coordinates, a month-long institutional takeover transforming Kunstnerforbundet into a discursive platform centering Black Nordic artistic production across visual art, writing, film, and workshops. Curated by Peer Review, a collective platform for cultural analysis across Black visual culture for and by Africans and its diaspora in Oslo.
