Satellite City - Isabel Löfgren and Erik Krikortz, 2011

Current resident Isabel Löfgren realizes the project Satellitstaden, a research-based site-specific installation inspired by all the satellite dishes covering the façades of the buildings in Fittja. Artist Bezhad Khosravi Noori investigates the discourse of Multiculturalism since 1976 (beginning of Swedish Multiculturalism) in Swedish television “SVT” and the way that “hyperpoliticized” societies (Middle East) are presented.

Fittja Open 2011 is Residence Botkyrka's annual presentation of public art. The exhibition opened on September 10 with presentations, performances and pizza. Fittja Open and Botkyrka konsthall was nominated to Nöjesguiden's annual Stockholm prize in the art category.

Through a specific Nordic program, Developing Nordic Cities, Residence Botkyrka operates for an interchange of knowledge regarding art, architecture and city planning in a Nordic context.
