Stranges Stiftelse
Join us Sunday this week at 14:00 as historian Christoffer Harris gives a talk on Stranges Stiftelse and the women who lived there. Alongside this, Reny Folgerø, an actor from The National Stage (DNS) in Bergen, does a reading of texts related to the exhibition.
The event is in Norwegian.
The Archives for Social Change exhibition brings together five independent archives that hold the overlooked and often silenced histories of communities who have fought, organised, and cared for one another in the face of exclusion and oppression. These archives speak not only from the past — they are living practices of resistance and solidarity, shaped by and for those who refused to be forgotten. Set in Stranges Stiftelse, a former poorhouse for women founded in 1609, the exhibition unfolds across two floors. Materials from the Norwegian Queer Archives, the Nepal Picture Library’s Dalit Archive and Feminist Memory Project, and the Grindmill Songs’ People’s Archive of Rural India are shown alongside historical records from Stranges Stiftelse itself.
