Bigert & Bergström

Skellefteå Art Gallery presents the Broken Greenhouse by the Swedish art duo Bigert & Bergström, whose new exhibition, The Broken Greenhouse, focuses on the destructive human impulse to control and tame nature by creating space for cultivation and cities. For this exhibition, the artists are showing new and older works that in different ways allude to the idea that nature created for humanity a perfect climate that is now broken. For almost thirty years, Mats Bigert and Lars Bergström's work has been driven by scientific and historical theories, often with clear reference to issues concerning the current climate crisis. @Time: 10:00-18:00, weekends, 10:00-20:00, weekdays. ┣ @Where : Sara kulturhus, Kanalgatan 43b, Skellefteå ┣ ┣ ┣ ┣@Suitable for: the whole family @Cost: Free

Later in the week:

Author and training expert Monika Björn is a must-see when she comes to Skellefteå on Tuesday, March 21. She talks with humor (and a little ferocity) about Sweden's approach to the menopause and is one of the lecturers under the heading THINK at Sara kulturhus.

If you want to know everything about Renholmen's local history, from the year 1760 to 2020, then you should go see Carina Westerlund also on Tuesday. She comes to the City Library and talks about her book Renholmen. It is promised to contain little-known nuggets of local history.
