For Bergen Assembly 2025, I moderated a talk with artists Ravi Agarwal and Monica Ursina Jäger, and Kikki Flesche Leiven and Bjørg Risebrobakken from Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research. We discussed the ecological challenges facing Norway's Fjords and how Ursina Jäger's artwork engages with this subject.

I was the Editor of this Reader for the fifth edition of Bergen Assembly 2025, across, with, nearby. It brings together 3 convenor essays, an introductory text, artist biographies, and over 100 project and venue texts, alongside new and archival images. You can read more about the triennial here.

I lead on the text and publications strategy for this year's edition of Bergen Assembly, which opens on 11 September and runs until 9 November. Convened by Ravi Agarwal, Adania Shibli, and Bergen School of Architecture (BAS), the assembly is titled across, with, nearby and asks: In what sense can love act as a public force, capable of countering social, ecological, economic, and political injustices? You can read more about this edition at our e-flux announcement here.

Notes: AKP Norway, "The lake is still like a mirror" (the lake is placid like a mirror, the lake remains like a mirror), Counterrevolutionary (against the revolution), Counteractivist (against activism?), "If the audience also gets on the stage, who shall watch the play?" - participatory work, who is the audience?
