leijuvat ∿ liehuvat ∿ liitelevät // whine ∿ wail ∿ whimper is an open invitation to experiment with the voice as a generative instrument for healing and grieving. During the open studios we share part of our research into voice activation and grief through a work in progress that brings together a soundscape by artist Jonas Holmer, a lyric inspired by Ingrian runo-songs written by musician Emmi Kuittinen, and a moaning instruction by artist Raoni Muzho Saleh.

Dear, don’t forget to bring a carton of milk on your way home x

Dear, don’t forget to bring a carton of milk on your way home x is a series of letters developed in collaboration with Dear, an Amsterdam-based artist initiative run by Martha Jager. Focused on experiences of, and reflections on queer mourning, and grief in the everyday, we sent out monthly letters written and composed by artists, collectives and writers MYCKET, Pamela Sneed, G, Manuel Solano and Every Ocean Hughes. The letters, postmarked Stockholm, were delivered to people’s homes between October 2021 and February 2022.

Morte liiiiiiiiifffeeee,
still naaaattuuuree
by Garance Wullschleger and Anna Reutinger

Morte liiiiiiiffeeeeeee, still naaaaaattuuuuree pulls us in a myriad of directions as we wade through the messiness of accepting extinction—and all that might come after. For this immersive installation Reutinger and Wullschleger invited friends and loved ones to reflect on the question of the end of our world as a beginning of new worlds. The outcomes are stitched into a cocoon of second hand textiles dyed with food scraps, the air filled with whispers, unfamiliar languages, and guttural tones.

Re: Re: Re: Re:
by Clementine Edwards and Ada M. Patterson

Re: Re: Re: Re: is a series of gentle missives, videos as call and response, between Ada M. Patterson from Barbados and Clementine Edwards from Naarm and then Rotterdam. In the correspondence, they speak to their shared experiences of life back home as potentially untenable, and the ways it provokes a complicated grief rooted in trans-ness, administration, climate, and the (dis)possession of land and body. Re: Re: Re: Re: makes space for a textured and emotional confrontation between their bodies and the world, riddled with desire for, and attempts at anchoring themselves in their surroundings, histories and land, yet failing to, or resisting these impulses at the same time.
