MALMÖ & STOCKHOLM + LOS ANGLES

ScandiLA

May & Jul, 2023

SEAN 2023 logo with stylized text and graphic elements in blue, dark blue, black, and light blue.

The ScandiLA project is the first step in connecting the artistic communities of Los Angeles and the Swedish cities of Stockholm and Malmö in an ongoing process to inter-connect artist-run spaces globally. All three cities have a thriving arts community and it is ScandiLA’s mission to create a forum to promote repricicosity amongst the participating spaces. This sharing of concepts and culture will create a unique dialog and create long lasting relationships between ScandiLA’s participating spaces with the goal of creating a larger international platform in which these exchanges can flourish into the future.

Co-organized by Carl Baratta and Max Presneill
