What to do when 13 young art students decide to make a workshop about exhibition making? We respond with appreciation and reflection, because being a young artist in today's chaotic Europe is not easy, but to be public for a new generation of brilliant youth thinkers should be a pleasure.

We should encourage those students to continuously question society's beliefs and everything around us. The result of this workshop can be seen at the Textile Industry Museum in Salhus from 16th of April.

This exhibition is like a dance with different moves in different bodies that relate to other worlds in some complex reality. A miscellaneous of techniques, themes, and problematics can be expected from photography to weaving, printmaking, sculpturing, site-specific work, painting, and performance. This exhibition is an exciting place to see.

Participants: Laika Marie Andersen, Ali Reza Ashoori, Karl Bird, Marius Eid, River Hongjie He, Alphie Hubbard, Pooyan Jalilvand, Elna Karlsson, Kjell Korsmo, Moana Le Meur, Huzz Liu, Hannah Pettersen, Nora Martine Hjelle Strand.

Tutors: Kiyoshi Yamamoto, Tim Parry-Williams, Tone Saastad and Daniela Bergschneider.
Technical assistance: Kari Merete Paulsen and Bjørg Nedrebø.
