In a weeklong residency the 5 artists Yi Ten Lai Fernández, Maria Naidu, Shahrzad Malekian, Louisa Yaa Aisin and David Sebastian Lopez Restrepo are immersed in their artistic research "The Banality of care".

A research that stands in the context of our modern existence, where the concepts of care and sustainability have become persistent, often presented as an essential pursuit for personal well-being. In contemplating this contemporary phenomenon, the artists were inclined to reflect upon Hannah Arendt's philosophical insights, particularly her exploration of the 'banality of evil' in the context of the Eichmann trial. Applying Arendt's analytical lens to care and sustainability, unveiled to them intriguing parallels, prompting them to contemplate the banality of those concepts.

At the WORKSHARING they invite us into their research and will share findings from their work. Following the sharing of physical material, HAUT will facilitate a moderated feedback conversation where you as an audience have the opportunity to contribute to and enrich the artists' further work.

This artistic research is initiated by a collective of international artists based in Scandinavia, formed by Yi Ten Lai Fernández, Maria Naidu, Shahrzad Malekian, Louisa Yaa Aisin and David Sebastian Lopez Restrepo.
