Join Nana Francisca Schottländer on an exploration of how modern consumer society shapes and connects people, nature and cities! Material Displacements will be presented as pop-up installations and internventions in Fredrikstad town center.

August 29th – September 26th, 2024
Pop-up installations and performances
Fredrikstad town center

As part of §112 Fredrikstad and (UN)COMMON SPACES, ØIT has invited Danish artist Nana Francisca Schottländer to work with and in landscapes around Fredrikstad. She has chosen places that are shaped by human intervention – both through the extraction of raw materials and the disposal of waste. In Material Displacements, she explores how the material flows of our modern world shape and connect landscapes, cities and bodies, both locally and globally. For a month, you will be able to experience her work through pop-up installations and interventions in the center of Fredrikstad. Welcome to an encounter with the anthroposcene Fredrikstad!
