| THE NOW
INSTITUTE Nu-institutet / The Now Institute is an independent, non-profit, culture organization, initiated 2009 by the artist Janna Holmstedt and the director and film maker Karin Wegsjö 2009. We have worked with theatre, film and visual art for more than 15 years. WHAT ABOUT FREEDOM? Since the start, Nu-institutet has explored ”freedom” as a concept and reality through different artistic practices – such as workshops, performances, exhibitions, film, etc. – in order to both examine and present different aspects of this complex theme. Our work is based on a methodology where each manifestation becomes a part of a larger whole. Thus, a performance or an exhibition is an artistic event in itself, but is also used as an opportunity to gather new material, which in turn becomes the content, or trigger, for a future event. Read more about activities >> THE SWEDISH GIVEAWAY Our first project "Sverigepaketet" [The Swedish Giveaway] took the Swedish election year 2010 as a point of departure. We travelled through Sweden from May to September and during this time we made performances and events, interviewed people, conducted workshops, collected stories, ran our own election campaigne and staged an election in the small village of Mariannelund where a Freedom Soup was cooked. This one-year project was realized in collaboration with Norrbottensteatern in Luleå and Kulturakademien in Mariannelund, Sweden, with support from Framtidens Kultur, Kulturrådet, Stockholms stad och Riksteatern.

During 2012 we have initiated a cooperation with the culture center TCG Nordica in Kunming, China, and we will collaborate with Chinese artists and film makers (please see links below for more information in English). We recently returned from a stay in Kunming. This project is supported by the Swedish Arts Council and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency.
