Minga for the Sea is an ambitious exhibition by the internationally acclaimed artist Cecilia Vicuña, developed specifically for Kunstnernes Hus. The project builds bridges between Indigenous groups in the southern and northern regions of the globe who stand at the frontline against resource extraction and pollution in their local marine environments.

Before the opening, Vicuña will be in conversation with fellow artist Jannik Abel.

The Fallow Year by Amber Ablett is a site-specific installation and participatory project in the “Room for Rest” at Kunstnernes Hus that reimagines the capsule hotel (a structure linked to capitalist efficiency and production) as a communal and reflective space within the gallery. Rather than providing escape from productivity, the project reframes rest as an intentional, political act essential to collective transformation, especially for those involved in care work, activism, liberation and marginalised experience.
