After Work, Samtal
After Work Archives Day
We’re kicking off the celebration of Archives Day early – an evening for those curious about how history takes shape in conversations, archives, and photography.
Together, we highlight the role of archives in society as a place for memory, power, and meaning. Which stories are saved – and for whom?
Program
The program starts at 17:30

We will talk about this year’s documentation and be joined by Margareta Marakatt, an important voice for the Sami cultural heritage in Stockholm.

Diana Agunbiade-Kolawole (b. 1988) is a Stockholm-based artist who works with photography in both lens-based and non-lens-based forms, presented in installations, performance, and print. Her work is based on lived experience and aims to distort or completely demolish the photographic “decisive moment”.
Diana Agunbiade-Kolawole currently has works in the exhibitions Vera was here at Accelerator and The Art of Collecting at Moderna Museet. She has exhibited extensively both in Sweden and internationally, and her works are represented in the collections of Moderna Museet, Gothenburg Museum of Art in Sweden, as well as at the National Health Services (NHS), Barking & Dagenham Council, and Kingston University in the United Kingdom.
