Join us for an evening of film and conversation that digs into the complex ties between art, culture, war, and nation-building.
Set against the backdrop of Skeppsholmen island's military history, this thought-provoking programme—featuring works from Filmform’s archive—asks how culture and weaponry have been deployed side by side to shape national identity.
At a time when the arts are increasingly under threat and defence budgets continue to grow, we invite you to reflect on what is being fortified—and what is being dismantled. Through the films 'Sicherheit' by Saskia Holmkvist, Ellen Nyman & Oprea Corina, and 'Scented Rooms' by Shauheen Daneshfar, we open up a vital conversation about power, memory, and resistance.
📍Thursday, 12.6.2025, 19:00-20:45, MDT Moderna Dansteatern - Studio 1
