Karoline Skuseth
Karoline Skuseth is an independent curator, theater scholar, and artist with extensive experience in interdisciplinary art practices. She works at the intersection of performing arts, music, visual arts, and theory, with a particular focus on participation, care, and transformation as aesthetic and social practices.
With a background in theater studies from the University of Bergen and the Institut für Angewandte Theaterwissenschaft in Gießen, she has developed a curatorial practice that combines artistic experimentation with institutional development and collective reflection. During her fourteen years at BIT Teatergarasjen, she co-curated seasonal programs and the Oktoberdans and Meteor festivals, led international collaborative projects, and served as interim artistic and managing director from 2021 to 2022. She has been instrumental in establishing discursive thinking as an integral part of BIT Teatergarasjen’s identity.
Skuseth is a co-founder and member of the artist collective WALK OF SHAME (2012-), which develops performative and social works at the intersection of visual art, performing arts, and collective interaction. As an independent curator and artist, she works on interdisciplinary projects that explore the relationship between aesthetics and political action, and how art can open up space for participation, resistance, and new understanding.
She is co-founder of RUN – Radikalt Utopisk Nettverk (Radical Utopian Network) (2023-), where she contributes her experience in curatorial research, interdisciplinary collaboration, and collective process management. Within RUN, she leads NIGHT SHIFT, a platform that offers advice and artistic development for musicians and artists who want to explore live expression through dramaturgy, visual design, and performative strategies.
In her work, Skuseth is interested in how artistic practices can be used as tools for social transformation – through collaboration, care, and experimentation as methodology. At RUN, she works to develop aesthetic methods for future-oriented practice and explores how art can promote sustainable value creation, relational care, and collective transformation.
Hanne Maren Meldahl
Hanne Maren Meldahl works at the intersection of art, education, and society. She has extensive experience developing and leading projects that use aesthetic learning processes and artistic tools as drivers for change and innovation in the public sector.
As a visual artist, she has exhibited nationally and internationally, including with the interdisciplinary collective Walk of Shame (WOS), where she explores hope, community, and humanity’s ability to find meaning in a world marked by uncertainty. Her practice ranges from performative installations and participatory formats to collaborations with schools, municipalities, and research environments.
Meldahl works as a university lecturer at Western Norway University of Applied Sciences (HVL) and researches art in a post-digital age—how relationships between people, materials, and technology can open up new ways of creating and learning. Through projects such as Critical Haptic Hacking Lab and Hope Collider, she explores how material, sensory, and digital processes can be linked to critical and caring practices.
She combines artistic research, action learning, and aesthetic development work, and has collaborated with municipalities, universities, and cultural institutions on projects that promote learning, participation, and collective creativity.
In RUN, Meldahl contributes her experience in artistic development work, interdisciplinary collaboration, and methodology for future workshops, where artistic methods are used to promote sustainable value creation, creative innovation, and new ways of thinking about organization and community.
