Amanda Apetrea och Benjamin Quigley –DANCERAMICS
Saturday 23/5
Time: 15.30 – 19.00
Location: Uppsala Art Museum, Floor 1
Recommended for audiences: 18+

DANCERAMICS takes its point of departure from the idea of the future as something malleable—like clay. In this work, Apetrea and Quigley have repeatedly asked themselves why we humans continue to shape the same unbalanced form over and over. Which norms and power structures do we reshape with our bodies? And how demanding and uncomfortable is it to break with these internalized patterns?

DANCERAMICS is grounded in the insight that heterosexual desire is difficult to separate from heteronormative structures, and that the heterosexual duet carries a long history of romanticized coupledom, violence, and oppression. The artists’ own bodies function both as sculptural material and as a projection surface, allowing the viewer to reflect on their own position within the complex web of power we call culture. Can desire, bodies, and power be renegotiated, or are we doomed to remain stuck in a loop?

DANCERAMICS is a durational performance lasting 3.5 hours—drop in whenever you like, come and go as you please, or stay and endure with us!

Iris Smeds – Dead Hand’s Stew – a play about breeding
Saturday 23/5
Time: 17.30 – 18.00
Location: Uppsala art museum
Language: English
Tickets: 50 kr including service charges – book here

Iris Smed’s text-driven and surrealistic works are characterised by a dark, absurd humour. Dead Hand’s Stew – a play about breeding takes its starting point in the new film The Little House in the Food Court, in which a theatre group rehearses an adaptation of Little House on the Prairie. The performance work revolves around repetition and reproduction, rabbits and hands. In a linguistic inbreeding, physicalities become entangled and shifts in meaning arise. Dead Hand’s Stew was originally created for the Institute’s performance festival in Vitsaniemi in 2025.

Iris Smeds (b. 1984) lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden. Her work revolves around the individual’s marketability and its increasing lack of belonging. It strives to examine our existence and society from a poetic and performative perspective. Smeds has a background in theatre and her projects often blurs the boundaries between installation, performance and moving image, with a theatrical and surreal imagery. In 2019, Smeds received the Maria Bonnier Dahlin Scholarship. She has performed and exhibited at Moderna Museet, Malmö Konstmuseum, Mint, Luleå biennial, Tensta konsthall among others. She is represented in the several collections such as Maria Bonnier Dahlin and is the one-man punk band Vaska Fimpen.

Roxy Farhat – Talk and workshop
Saturday 23/5
Time: 14.30 – 16.00
Location: Uppsala Art Museum, Floor 1
Language: English
Tickets: 20 kr including service charges

What role do art and culture play in a time marked by climate collapse and the dismantling of democracy? Fiction is full of stories of popular uprisings, while reality shines in various shades of apathy. What is a reasonable response to the sixth mass extinction, to a live-streamed genocide, to the rise of fascism?

Welcome to a lecture, followed by a brief workshop with the artist and activist Roxy Farhat. Together we will listen, think, write and discuss difficult questions of our time with the aim of finding a more courageous and radical position. The program is part of a longer artistic and practical investigation of how a radical art practice can take shape, and how we can all become more involved in creating a different reality.

Roxy Farhat (b. 1984) is an artist and climate activist based in Stockholm, Sweden. In her artistic practice she has mainly worked with issues such as capitalism’s power over public and private spaces, societal prejudices, and the role art plays as a political force, often with a humorous twist. Since 2023, she has been an active member of the climate movement Återställ Våtmarker, which has caused her to question the role art plays in a time when the basis for human life is threatened by the climate crisis. This questioning has led her to leave her previous artistic practice behind, with the purpose of understanding how art that attempts to answer the climate- and democratic collapse, might look like.

Saturday 23/5
Time: 13.00 – 14.00
Location: The performance starts at Västgötaspången and closes at Uppsala Art Museum.

In The Sun Never Says to Earth, I Owe You two healers endeavour to communicate with Sufi poets of a past millennia with the aid of a parabola, aiming to find answers to burning questions of our own time. The piece moves between ritual, absurdity, speculation and collective longing, and was first performed at Liljevalchs Gallery in Stockholm. During Revolve, the artist Ailin Mirlashari continues her research on how milieu and voices from the past can be activated in the present.

gergő d. farkas – Deep Fake
Date: 22/5
Time: 19.00 – 19.45
Location: Uppsala art museum
Language: English
Tickets: 50 kr including service charges

Deep Fake (2021), gergő d. farkas’ first choreographic work is a gathering of objects, humans, sounds and movements dancing on the collapsing borders between living and inorganic, material and immaterial. It´s an attempt to play with the structures that secretly (re)produce these binaries. Shifting between extremes such as the role of a host or an absent body, the performer is accompanied by composer Márton Csernovszky’s sweet yet eerie, sensitive yet expansive music and by a tender object called Grid.

Deep Fake challenges the monocracy of the solo format by gently directing the spectator’s attention to the decentralised performance of sound, light, and object, turning the space into a living and breathing entity. While dreaming about new possibilities of coexistence, the work is driven by the question: how can we persuade the human gaze to become a little bit less anthropocentric?

gergő d. farkas (b.1996) is a gathering of cells with a passion for choreography, dance, romance and mischief. Being lost in Vienna, Budapest, Stockholm, or somewhere in between, they dream of belonging to sensual spaces where not only humans are invited to dance.Their choreographic work has been presented in venues and festivals such as Zürcher Theater Spektakel (CH), Spring Forward Festival (GR, IT), Imagetanz (AT), TQW’s RAKETE (AT), Trafó House of Contemporary Arts (HU), Dansehallerne (DK), MDT Moderna Dansteatern (SE), Réplika Teatro (SE), Open House Festival (CY), Dance Limerick (IE), and Dance Cork Firkin Crane (IE), amongst others. Their first work, Deep Fake has been a part of the Aerowaves Twenty22 selection and was nominated for the ZKB Acknowledgement Prize (CH), while their second work, babes

Bus departs from Uppsala art museum 30 min before the show both days going to SoundLevel!

In a world where land, language and folklore have become commodities, the only place you’re welcome back is outside – where greenery is no longer the primary reference. Instead, uneven floorboards, illusion mirrors and trickster steps form profitable landscapes.

Nüganen, Kisling and Sova, as a reaction, open up their ice-manufacturing enterprise. In the backdrop of nightmares and constant dripping they navigate between multiple perspectives on locality, accompanied by CDJs and a banjo. At Earth magnitude they are specks of dust, and next to geological time as-if on speed. They trace locality from places where the influence of one dominant culture has made imported goods part of folklore, while the word ‘local’ still adds value when making choices as a tourist. “Ash, horizon, riding a house” is a series of chain-reactions that invites the audience to envision a belonging – one that cannot be seen from here. It must be imagined.

Revolve Dreams and Dissent departs from performance as a site where dreaming and resistance coexist—not as opposites, but as interdependent practices. Through choreography, visual art, storytelling and embodied encounters, the performances unveil shifted realities where the absurd, the sensuous and the humorous coexist with vulnerability and sustained presence.

In works by Amanda Apetrea & Benjamin Quigley, gergő d. farkas, Roxy Farhat, Ailin Mirlashari, Netti Nüganen and Iris Smeds, different modes of world-building activate bodies as sites of transformation, allow narratives to crack open and bend time in unfamiliar directions. Dreaming is understood not as escapism, but as a political capacity—a site for renegotiation, mourning, desire, imagination, critical resistance and radical hope. The programme invites multiple modes of presence: as observer, participant or compassionate witness, making space for dreams, doubts and disagreements.
