SKULKESKOLEN - What remains: a mindmapping and zine workshop, with Hanni Kamaly

Part of SKULKESKOLEN, 2–6 September 2026

Photography has long served as a technology of empire: the documentation of colonised landscapes and people has helped produce and reinforce limited ways of seeing and understanding their existence. In their practice, Hanni Kamaly intervenes into the photographic archive to counter its logic, questioning processes of dehumanisation and the rendering of land. In connection with their exhibition and yet what remains of former times, Kamaly invites participants to a printing workshop exploring associative narratives and mindmapping as tools for working with and against archives, memory, and narrative.

Drawing on archival material and historical sources, the artist will invite participants to examine how ideas of the Other are produced and sustained through language, image, and institutional structures. Working in a similar way, participants will use found and collected material to construct associative, personal and collective narratives. Participants are encouraged to explore the topic and archives of their choice.

The workshop begins with an introduction to associative narrative techniques and mindmapping as methods for tracing connections between images, texts, and memory. Participants will then work hands-on, cutting and assembling from a shared collection of art magazines, books, personal archives and source material selected by Kamaly, alongside any images, texts, or objects they choose to bring. The resulting mindmaps will be assembled into a collectively produced zine and printed.

This workshop is a collaboration with Pamflett.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Participation is free, with places limited to 15 participants on a first-come, first-served basis. Participants are warmly encouraged to bring their own images, texts, or objects of interest.
