RUN (Radical Utopian Network) is an interdisciplinary network based in Bergen, consisting of Karoline Skuseth and Hanne Maren Meldahl. We explore community-driven processes and exchanges across art forms and sectors and believe that a diversity of ideas, initiatives and projects based on mutual solidarity creates better conditions for art and culture in the public sphere.

RUN’s members are interested in connecting artists, audiences and institutions through exploratory strategies for performing arts, music, visual arts and artistic discourse. We want to contribute to strengthening curatorial frameworks and collaborative networks that challenge established hierarchical structures – and promote interdisciplinary coexistence, horizontal learning and mutual exchange.

Please get in touch if you would like to discuss any of this, or have other ideas you would like to explore with us.
