Join the residents as they give short presentations of their practices before inviting audience questions and discussion.
Taking place from 12 August to 11 September 2025, PRAKSIS Residency 30, Climate / Coloniality, investigates the intertwined challenges of environmental crisis and colonial histories. Developed in collaboration with the Asia Pacific Artistic Research Network (APARN), the residency focuses on the geopolitics of climate knowledge and the roles artists play in addressing global inequalities rooted in coloniality.
During the residency’s Meet the Residents event, the participating artists and researchers will introduce their individual and collective practices, reflecting on how local knowledge, colonial legacies, and artistic responsibility converge in their work. Through short presentations, residents share how they navigate the tensions between the Global North and South in the face of ecological crisis, followed by an open discussion with the audience.
The event offers a space for critical reflection and dialogue, fostering connections between residents, the Oslo arts community, and wider audiences engaged with questions of climate justice and decolonial artistic practice.
The residency brings together practitioners whose work spans ecology, extractivism, pedagogy, and collective storytelling. Dilşad Aladağ (Turkey/Germany) investigates landscapes and ecological politics through interdisciplinary practice. Eline Benjaminsen (Norway) explores the entanglements of finance and ecology through experimental documentary. Danny Butt (Australia) examines knowledge production and artistic platforms within education and community contexts, joining as an APARN representative. Liselli Grunwald (Norway/France/Trinidad) weaves ecology, identity, and storytelling into speculative, reparative futures. Ayesha Jordan (Norway/USA) draws on permaculture and ritual-making to explore decolonial, collaborative forms of artistic production. Artist-filmmaker Sonia Levy (France) investigates Western extractive logics and their hydrosocial effects. Eline McGeorge (Norway) uses material research and feminist perspectives to address extraction and ecological collapse. Curator and dramaturg Helly Minarti (Indonesia) examines choreography as knowledge, representing APARN alongside researcher Kurniawan Adi Saputro (Indonesia), whose work focuses on visual media, climate justice, and local knowledge. Belén Santillán (Ecuador/Norway) works across art and education, developing critical pedagogy and collective learning through public programming.
