Designed Living Environments for Breakfast – PRESERVING HISTORY AND RECYCLING IN ULLERÅKER

PRESERVING HISTORY AND RECYCLING IN ULLERÅKER

Two art projects in the urban development av Ulleråker in Uppsala have been carried out based on Ulleråker’s art program. The artists have reused felled trees and reflected on the essens of the place through past, present and future.

In the Hospitalträdgården, near the historic hospital building from the 19th century, there are the new artworks “Parallel room” by Lies Marie Hoffman and “Grail splash” by Mattias Härenstam. In addition to the artists, project manager and art consultant Ann Magnusson and commissioner Tuva-Li Peter Lidé from Uppsala municipality also participate in the conversation.

In the conversation series Designed Living Environments for Breakfast we meet architects, artists, cilvil servants, politicians and researchers to get a unique insight into new strategies and working methods on how different aspects of designed living environment can impact and contribute to improve conditions in our society. The webinars are held once a month during spring and fall and take place on Thursdays between 08.30-09.30. You connect through the digital plattform Teams with a link posted in calendar events in connection with the events, no pre-registration is requested.

The conversation series is organized in a collaboration between Region Uppsala, Region Halland, Region Blekinge, Region Jämtland Härjedalen and Region Västmanland.
