Sunday 30.3, 14:00 2014 Haunted by Shadows of the Future – HORIZONS, a jam session on future scenarios for Tensta. Starring: Adam Tensta, Dougald Hine, Gunilla Lundahl and Tor Lindstrand. Featuring: STEALTH.unlimited (Ana Džokić + Marc Neelen) and Peter Lang.
Haunted by the Shadows of the Future: HORIZONS is an attempt to re-set Tensta into probable, speculative, or perhaps rather unseemly futures in the year 2030. Will this, yet unknown Tensta be an autonomous zone, where the residents of this disregarded part of Stockholm have successfully taken their destiny into their own hands? Or will its multi-facetted society prove so vital that this “new Sweden” comes to dominate the entire country by 2030? Or will Tensta’s original but unfulfilled mission – of creating an environment that acknowledges and gives space to a fully liberated and democratic model citizen – ultimately be re-created? And what would such a citizens’ liberation and equality mean if we could live it today?
Four people from different walks of life and with different relationships with the area take us along four different (im)possible futures for Tensta in 2030 – a milepost according to authorities in Stockholm’s “Vision 2030 – a world class Stockholm”.
With: Adam Tensta (hip-hop artist, challenger of vested cultural norms and laborious creator of one’s own realities, born and based in Tensta), Dougald Hine (social thinker, writer, kickstarter of projects and organizations, recent in-wanderer to Sweden from the UK), Gunilla Lundahl (cultural journalist, writer, and editor with a long-standing commitment to urban culture and discourse since her start at newspaper The Worker in 1955), and Tor Lindstrand (architect, assistant professor at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH-A), and a cross-disciplinary performer, editor and thinker).
Haunted by the Shadows of the Future: HORIZONS is a collaboration in the context of Tensta Museum: Reports from New Sweden at Tensta Konsthall and the Urban Re-Mix course at the Royal Institute of Art (KKH) in Stockholm. It has been conceived by STEALTH.unlimited (Ana Dzokic + Marc Neelen, spanning spatial practices in the fields of architecture, culture and activism) and Peter Lang (curator, writer and professor in Architecture Theory and History, Mejan Arc KKH).
