SUMMARY:Vårsalongen 2026
DESCRIPTION:Vrsalongen2024_Utantext                \n                            \n        \n        \n\n\n\n\n\nVårsalongen (the Spring Salon) at Liljevalchs has marked the beginning of the Stockholm Art Spring for over a century. \n\n\n\nTo Vårsalongen 2026\, 255 artists have been admitted\, which is the highest number since the 1950’s. This year also marked the first time all of Sápmi could apply\, and several artists based in the area were admitted. The Jury received a total of 3394 applications\, of which 348 works will be showcased in the exhibition. Among the admitted artists\, there is a wide spread in terms of age and geographics\, from 19-81 years\, from Skåne to Northern Norway. Vårsalongen opens at Liljevalchs on February 13th 2026. \n\n\n\n\n\n Opens february 13 \n\n\n\n Visitor info \n\n\n\n Liljevalchs \n\n\n\n\n\n\nJury 2026\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCarola Grahn\n\n\n\nCarola Grahn is a South Sami artist from Jokkmokk with an MFA from The Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm. In her work\, she critically examines human alienation from nature and the destructive legacy of colonialism that continues to cause suffering both for humans and nature. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n“I think a really good Vårsalong should have a bit of everything! Strong emotions\, melancholy and humour – in techniques both possible and impossible.” \nCarola Grahn\n\n\n\n\n\nPaul Adamah\n\n\n\nPaul Adamah is a multidisciplinary artist working with music (under the name Boko Yout)\, performance\, design and visual arts. With roots in Örebro and a background from Togolese and Mozambican cultures\, he works in the intersection between the personal and the political – often exploring themes such as identity\, representation and expressions of queer and Black experiences. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n“I’m drawn to art that raises questions about the collective\, the subconscious and the uncomfortable. Art that both takes up space and makes room.” \nPaul Adamah\n\n\n\n\n\nAbir Boukhari\n\n\n\nAbir Boukhari is a Syrian curator who lives and works in Sweden since 2015. With her rich and internationally grounded experience\, she has distinguished herself as a sharp voice within the world of contemporary art. In 2005 she co-founded AllArtNow in Damascus\, the first independent contemporary art center in Syria\, and a center for the Arabic art scene. Since 2019\, Abir Boukhari runs AllArtNow in Stockholm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n“I hope to contribute with an artistic sensibility that embraces risk\, nurtures experimentation\, and allows new artistic experiences to emerge and reflect the rich diversity and experiences within Sweden.” \nAbir Boukhari\n\n\n\n\n\nJoanna Sandell Wright\n\n\n\nI look forward to seeing the works in the upcoming Vårsalong with a jury that I think will contribute with a wide gaze\, courage and new perspectives on the contemporary art scene\, says Joanna Sandell Wright\, Director of Liljevalchs. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n“The reason we’re seeing such a great number of admitted artists this year is due to the very high quality among the applications. It’s the first time in 70 years that we make space for this many. This also manifests Liljevalchs as a home for artists\, and is proof of a recurringly rich and wide participation.” \nJoanna Sandell Wright\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nPhoto: Mattias Lindbäck \n\n\n\n\nDo you want to participate in 2027?\n\n\n\nWe’ve gathered all you need to know about applying to Vårsalongen 2027 here!

SUMMARY:Visita comentada en español
DESCRIPTION:Visita comentada en español \n\n\n\nWhen We See Us: A Century of Black Figuration in PaintingCuando Nos Vemos: Un siglo de Pintura y Figurativismo Negro \n\n\n\nTe invitamos a una visita comentada en español por la exposición When We See Us en Liljevalchs\, desde una perspectiva decolonial y afro centrada. \n\n\n\nConcebida originalmente por el Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (Zeitz MOCAA) en Ciudad del Cabo y co-curada por Koyo Kouoh y Tandazani Dhlakama\, la muestra toma su título de When They See Us (2019) de Ava DuVernay para proponer un giro hacia la auto-representatividad\, o lo que Achille Mbembe denomina “autonarrativa”. La exposición traza relaciones artísticas que atraviesan fronteras geográficas\, generacionales y conceptuales\, dando forma a las llamadas “estéticas paralelas”\, y reúne obras de artistas que se presentan por primera vez en Suecia\, acompañadas por una traducción sonora del compositor sudafricano Neo Muyanga. \n\n\n\nEl recorrido está a cargo de Rossana Mercado-Rojas\, artista\, especialista en pintura\, investigadora y trabajadora cultural peruana radicada en Estocolmo\, quien se aproxima a la exposición desde la experiencia de la migración\, el desplazamiento y las historias coloniales que atraviesan lenguas\, territorios y cuerpos. El énfasis estará puesto en artistas afro-diaspóricos vinculados a América Latina y el Caribe\, abordando la pintura y el figurativismo como formas de narrativa\, representación y documentación. El recorrido incorpora además un contexto histórico que destaca el papel de Haití —la primera república negra\, la primera revolución exitosa liderada por personas esclavizadas y la primera nación independiente de América Latina—\, junto con reflexiones sobre las historias contadas y no contadas de los procesos independentistas en América Latina y los procesos de abolición de la esclavitud. Todo ello en diálogo con las prácticas artísticas como formas de resistencia en relación al goce\, en relación con la noción de Black Joy presente en la muestra. \n\n\n\n\n\n Thursday February 19\, 6 PM  \n\n\n\n Liljevalchs+  \n\n\n\n Get ticket

SUMMARY:Freddy Houndekindo: Becoming Tree
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with STHLM DANS\, Freddy Houndekindo invites you to a performative guidewalk to imagine new stories of Black life\, labor\, and becoming. \n\n\n\nThe performance Becoming Tree unfolds monthly throughout the duration of When We See Us: A Century of Black Figuration in Painting\, at Liljevalchs.

Blending French\, English\, Fongbe\, and sound\, the performance celebrates the richness of diasporic expression and frames Black creative production as a holistic practice within a pan-African and global dialogue.

SUMMARY:Talk: Michael Rosen on Dignity
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special evening with a talk by the philosopher and Harvard professor Michael Rosen centered on the concept of dignity\, followed by a guided tour of the exhibition When We See Us by Director of Liljevalchs\, Joanna Sandell Wright.  \n\n\n\nDignity runs through modern life\, from the Human Rights Committee of the United Nations to the ways that we look at one another when we meet. Yet it is puzzling too. Dignity has meant very different things to different people at different times and places. The philosopher\, Michael Rosen\, will bring out some of those ideas and ask what they tell us about ourselves. \n\n\n\nMichael Rosen is the Senator Joseph S. Clark Professor of Ethics in Politics and Government at Harvard University. Among his books are Dignity: its History and Meaning (2012) and The Shadow of God: Kant\, Hegel and the Passage from Heaven to History (2022). \n\n\n\nAfter the talk\, Joanna Sandell Wright\, Director of Liljevalchs\, will give a guided tour of the exhibition When We See Us\, with a focus on the concept of dignity.Limited number of seats. Prepurchase your ticket to ensure your spot. The ticket is also valid as admission to the exhibition. \n\n\n\nThe talk is held in English. \n\n\n\nImage: Michael Rosen. \n\n\n\n\n\n Tuesday June 9th at 5PM \n\n\n\n Liljevalchs+  \n\n\n\n Prepurchase your ticket

SUMMARY:Visita comentada en español: When We See Us
DESCRIPTION:When We See Us: A Century of Black Figuration in PaintingCuando Nos Vemos: Un siglo de Pintura y Figurativismo Negro \n\n\n\nTe invitamos a una visita comentada en español por la exposición When We See Us en Liljevalchs\, desde una perspectiva decolonial y afro centrada. \n\n\n\nConcebida originalmente por el Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (Zeitz MOCAA) en Ciudad del Cabo y co-curada por Koyo Kouoh y Tandazani Dhlakama\, la muestra toma su título de When They See Us (2019) de Ava DuVernay para proponer un giro hacia la auto-representatividad\, o lo que Achille Mbembe denomina “autonarrativa”. La exposición traza relaciones artísticas que atraviesan fronteras geográficas\, generacionales y conceptuales\, dando forma a las llamadas “estéticas paralelas”\, y reúne obras de artistas que se presentan por primera vez en Suecia\, acompañadas por una traducción sonora del compositor sudafricano Neo Muyanga. \n\n\n\nEl recorrido está a cargo de Rossana Mercado-Rojas\, artista\, especialista en pintura\, investigadora y trabajadora cultural peruana radicada en Estocolmo\, quien se aproxima a la exposición desde la experiencia de la migración\, el desplazamiento y las historias coloniales que atraviesan lenguas\, territorios y cuerpos. El énfasis estará puesto en artistas afro-diaspóricos vinculados a América Latina y el Caribe\, abordando la pintura y el figurativismo como formas de narrativa\, representación y documentación. El recorrido incorpora además un contexto histórico que destaca el papel de Haití —la primera república negra\, la primera revolución exitosa liderada por personas esclavizadas y la primera nación independiente de América Latina—\, junto con reflexiones sobre las historias contadas y no contadas de los procesos independentistas en América Latina y los procesos de abolición de la esclavitud. Todo ello en diálogo con las prácticas artísticas como formas de resistencia en relación al goce\, en relación con la noción de Black Joy presente en la muestra. \n\n\n\n\n\n Saturday June 27th\, 2 PM  \n\n\n\n Liljevalchs+  \n\n\n\n Get ticket

SUMMARY:September Sessions x Liljevalchs: Choose the way ritual
DESCRIPTION:As part of the September Sessions art festival\, Liljevalchs presents a participatory performance in Ylva Snöfrid’s exhibition The House of the Muses. \n\n\n\nDuring this immersive performance inside Ylva Snöfrid’s exhibition The House of the Muses\, the Choose the way ritual is activated. The visitors are invited to enter and go through the artist’s paintings\, where a choice between two possible paths is to be made: the pink which leads to The Dream Rite\, or the grey\, leading to Dystopia. It all begs the question: What kind of world do we want to see?The artist will be on site and lead the performance.Free admission between 1 and 3 pm. No pre-booking required. \n\n\n\nYlva Snöfrid is known for her performative works\, pushing the boundaries of painting; within Snöfrid’s ritualized world\, everything revolves around painting that moves between figuration and matter. Her artistic process often takes place in communal rooms and in collective rituals\, where she takes on the role as a mediator between work and reality. In 2017\, she performed a “transmutation ritual” in which she became one with her twin soul Snöfrid. \n\n\n\nYlva Snöfrid has been based in New York\, Berlin\, Athens and Stockholm. She has exhibited extensively around the world in numerous large exhibitions and site-specific works\, including Istanbul Biennal\, Performa in New York\, Palais de Tokyo\, Swiss Institute in New York\, Institut Suédois in Paris\, Bonniers konsthall and Kunsthal Charlottenborg in Copenhagen. \n\n\n\nSeptember Sessions is a four-day art festival in Stockholm\, initiated in 2023 by Index – The Swedish Contemporary Art Foundation and Mint. See the full program here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n September 13\, 1–3 pm  \n\n\n\n Liljevalchs  \n\n\n\nFree admission between 1 and 3 pm. No pre-booking
