Bergen Assembly
03/03/2026
We’re looking forward to Borealis Festival in Bergen and are thrilled that Elin Már Øyen Vister will present the opening performance!
The new work, Vedøya – Laments to the birdmountain who lost their voice / Arme låddebávtijda ma lij sjávvunam, continues Øyen Vister’s deep listening practice.
For Bergen Assembly 2025, Øyen Vister created an intimate listening lounge aboard the Literature Boat Epos. There, audiences experienced a sound work developed along the west coast of Norway and beyond, carrying situated knowledge through sound and music as vessels of cultural memory.
During the opening days Øyen Vister together with Morten Norbye Halvorsen, Knut Jonas Sellevold, Alexander Aga Røynstrand, Katarina Dorothea Isaksen, Trine Samuelsen Hansen did an offering to the sea at the dock in Salhus.
We’re looking back at images from the installation and the offering — and looking forward to the opening performance at Borealis. See you there!

As we step into 2026, we’re looking back at some moments and projects from Bergen Assembly this past autumn - starting with a look black at 𝘢𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘴, 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩, 𝘯𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘣𝘺 at Bergen Kunsthall.
Here, you can explore works by Gruppe 66, Ánddir Ivvár Ivvár / Iver Jåks, Marcus Coates, Clara Hastrup, Karen Werner, Sajan Mani, Vikrant Bhise, AgriForum, Kåre Aleksander Grundvåg, Matskogen and GramArt Project, Karan Shrestha, and Singing Wells.
Brought together at Bergen Kunsthall, these varied practices create a shared space for revisiting collective experiments, centring marginalised forms of knowledge, and fostering care, dialogue, and responses to urgent social and ecological questions.
As wrote in her review for “At Bergen Kunsthall, founded in 1838, the walls pulse with gestures of resistance, memory, and collective becoming. The space unfolds like a palimpsest of movement—across borders, histories, and urgencies—centering experiments in anti-colonial thought and radical togetherness.”
We also extend our sincere thanks to for generously lending works and sharing expertise on Gruppe 66, and to curatorial advisor for his invaluable contribution. Our gratitude also goes to .no, (UiT), and the Iver Jåks Archive in Tromsø for the loan of works by Ánddir Ivvár Ivvár / Iver Jåks. Finally, we warmly thank and for the collaboration on 𝘚𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘤 𝘐𝘯𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴 together with .wells.
