How do we acknowledge that we are all in the same vessel through the waters of existence?
In this occasion I have been exploring the question of how the city’s rhythm, the urban messages, and nature’s subtle dance influence the patterns in my mind. How do these affect my relationships and behaviours as I move through the city? The inquiring has been done as part of an artist in residence program in the Urban Research Institute at Malmö University.
Listen, walk, and let yourself flow through the channels of Malmö. In this process, I step into a space where the subtle buzz of wasps and the rhythms of city life blend together. I feel the texture of the air, the whispers of nature, and the urban symphony around me. Engage with the sensations that weave through our everyday moments, appreciating how different elements coexist and influence each other, including the tensions and conflicts, and the awareness of the gap between what I wish for and what actually unfolds.

Workshop-performance
2022
With creation as a basis, the participants got to reflect from themselves in a natural environment, explore what is in them when the noise is silenced and what happens in your mind when you meet other people.
The workshop is led by Helena Fernández-Cavada, artist, with support from Ana Maria Bermeo, project manager Art and Health, Konstfrämjandet Skåne.

The exhibition is part of an ongoing study and focuses mainly on collectives and movements operating in Stockholm during the years of 1938–1955. The exhibition raises questions about the history and potential of political imagery, as well as stories of collective organization, with special focus on the international solidarity movement between Sweden and Spain.
The movements and collectives that the exhibition examine all emerged as reactions to the inaccessible position of art in society, a growing fascism and the acceleration of global capitalism. Today we are experiencing a resurfacing and normalization of fascism and reactionary movements. Moreover, the acceleration of global capitalism has assumed even more violent attributes. Throughout the exhibition, Helena Fernández-Cavada and Sebastian Dahlqvist look towards earlier colleagues, their ambitions and failures to find a common ground where to belong. In an attempt to discern what opportunities, or even responsibilities, are left to those who come after.

The exhibition explores our relation with interdependency. When the public arrived the show had been de de-installed, and they could reconstruct the exhibition by looking to the catalogue, the left overs and a box that contained all the drawings.
