With Autumn slowly creeping into view, we thought we’d share a little about our work here at Gathenhielmska. It’s been a busy time in the House, and we’ve been working hard behind the scenes to plan for the rest of 2021 & beyond. This month we have welcomed three new artists to our creative community: ceramicist Johanna Dahl, textile artist Maja Johansson Starander and musician/photogratpher Amanda Andreas. We’ll be sharing more information about each of them soon.
Our venue development work is also progressing nicely: we’ve started work on a very exciting project to develop a photo studio and mini-cinema space in one of the rooms on the ground floor, which we hope to complete in October. Restoration work in the garden is also progressing nicely, and we hope to be able to open our newly renovated greenhouse before the end of the year!
We’re also gradually opening up Gathenhielmska for more events and bookings. September is set to be a busy month, with our programme including book releases, theatre performances and workshops. Find out more about what’s on below.
MEA CULPA, 3 – 6 september 2021
Step into the everyday-life of five queer vampires from different eras sharing collective housing – with all its joys and horrors. MEA CULPA is a comedic, immersive music and dance theatre piece that uses queer-theory, vampires and pop-culture as starting points for reflecting on our relationship with social responsibility, free will and climate change.
