POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Funny Livdotter, Swedish textile and visual artist, has been with Ballina Fringe Festival and TheNCF as artist in residence for the last 2 weeks.

Having made the epic journey from Sweden to Ballina, Funny has focused their time here on developing A Depiction of They, a series of textile sculptures exploring memento mori through the lens of LGBTQIA+ identity and collective resilience.

By transforming ”loved-to-death” garments and donated relics into physical archives of lived experience, Funny has used mortality as a tool for celebration rather than mourning.

Funny's residency comes to an end this Friday, and we close out with an Artist Talk, where Funny will talk through their work, their process, and about the Homografiska Museet (A queer museum in Sweden that they run). In this, Funny will discuss the importance of queer archives, how it operates and what opportunities that creates and keeps on giving.

Funny's work created during their residency will also be on display.

We'd love you all to join us for this residency wrap event - 8pm Friday 9 October upstairs at TheNCF. If you've never been, this is a great excuse to visit!

Admission free, all welcome.

Funny's residency has been supported by the LGBTIQ+ Community Services Fund 2026.

Thanks to @banshees_diary for this great video!

Maj och nästan hela juni 2026.
Vad mycket roligare ni var än era namnar 2025.
Kålen kålen kålen. Det börjar ju alltid med kålen. Festivalproducerandet och alla magiska engagerade personer som gjorde det möjligt. En svarthöna som efter 13 år till slut kom på pränt. Kvällsstickning på strand. Veden veden veden. Vallhunden som övervakar så en kommer tillbaka när en går till grannen. Vernissageblomster. Många lästa ord. Indigon. INDIGON! Fint häng i ateljén. Äntligen dags för våra feriepraktikanter att måla - och jag kommer återigen på mitt i - det är ju kul också. Inte bara logistik. Hemma. Midsommarnatt.
Bara tack.

We are happy to announce the second publication by hekh, Call #2.

Continuing institutional tracings, navigations and morphings performed by contributors in Call #1, This edition brings together 15 contributors from India and around the world, tracing and building new paradigms of ‘place’, ‘refuge’ and ‘intelligence’ that emerge out of space making as an artistic gesture. The issue reflects on different models and moves emerging to navigate scale, structures, durations, intensities, and intimacies- oscillating between the personal, the worldly, the intimate, the local and the transcendent.

A huge thankyou to all the contributors, our designers and the editing team for their efforts!

The issue is available for browsing online, and also to buy! Both links in bio! Pls reach out in case of any discrepancies!

Introducing our contributors for Call #2!

Jazael Olguín Zapata’s (b.1987, Mexico) work consists of searching for crossroads between genres and media: portraits that insinuate landscapes, still lifes that are comix, the search in the fertile space between figuration-abstraction; and the interstices between drawing and painting. Jazael enjoys mixing times, and art history references with popular imaginaries from fragmented and fluid identity narratives, blurring the boundaries between genres, spaces and disciplines; to overflow the limits of painting and insist on its relevance within contemporary visual culture, not only as a plastic technique but also as a way of producing unique images that are relevant to address the present context of our localities and of the world(s).

—————————————-

Funny Livdotter (Sweden born 1987) is an artist that works conceptually. They find it fascinating to pick up humanity in their palm; look at it, study its behaviours and to question why it reacts like it does. In their creative work Funny find it satisfying to push the boundaries. Try to constantly question one’s own limitations, and to challenge themself further into finding a space of liberty, which reigns chaos and control. One of their most ambitious works of art is Homografiska Museet (2020<) – a queer mindbender that question the lack of queer representation and diversity in history – present and past. This queer museum buys five art pieces each year and though that creates opportunity and community on an international scale.
