Home / Gothenburg City Triennial 2021 ends at the Röhsska Museum
13 September 2021

Since the inauguration in June, the city triennial has had a pandemic-adapted programme. Now there are only a few weeks left until the triennial ends. The program at the Röhsska Museum begins on Thursday 23 September with a lecture by architect Florian Idenburg from the New York-based office SO-IL. Florian Idenburg will talk about how the office, by working in teams, has managed to translate strong, imaginary ideas into real, physical places and objects.

Conversations About Public Places

On Saturday 25 September, the triennial will arrange a symposium focusing on public places. During the autumn of 2020, the City Triennial announced an Open Call, in which the public was invited to submit ideas for the program. From the submitted proposals, a jury selected five projects, which will be presented during the symposium. The five selected proposals are: SWAY by Frame colectivo, Mappa trappa by Amy Boulton, Modefilm by Kulturlabbet, Ljudbibliotek by Ljudverket and Barnen bestämmer  by Pontus Johansson and Malin Wallin.

As a final item on Saturday’s program, the State(s) of Fluid Matter(s) project by Cocinas Alterinas will be released

Cocinas Alterinas consists of Mayar El Bakry, a Swiss-Egyptian designer based in Zurich, and Gabriela Aquije, a Peruvian architect and design researcher based in Germany. On Saturday, they present the idea of the project and it is then followed up the next day with a digital workshop. Through the project, the participants are invited to explore their own city and based on the discoveries develop a food recipe which is then shared with others. Based on this infrastructure of kitchens and stories, they want to discuss the urbanity and the role of food in our cities.

The moderator for both Thursday’s and Saturday’s events is the social anthropologist Viktoria Walldin from White Architects.

LIVESTREAMS

Both Thursday’s and Saturday’s programmes can be followed either from the Auditorium at the Röhsska Museum or online, as a live broadcast via Stadstriennalen’s Facebook. Films, pictures and objects from the five Open call projects will also be shown in the Auditorium throughout the week. The week ends on Sunday with a sound workshop in the Studio at the Röhsska Museum, which is led by Ljudverket

Gothenburg City Triennial is a platform for talking about and creating a city together. A forum for conversations and debates on current urban planning issues where both industry and the general public are invited to contribute. Together, we explore new ways to take, give and create space in the conversation about the city.
