Blue mussel shells in the sink of a bathroom. Next to it there is another bucket of mussels.

An homage to the blue mussels of Öresund. A piece of the strait brought onto land.

Installationen Mytilus är en hyllning till Öresunds blåmusslor. Blåmusslan (Mytilus edilus) är en viktig del av sundet och dess landskap. Man kan ur minnet föreställa sig mörkblå musslor som klänger sig fast vid blåstång på Ribban. Musslorna filtrerar vattnet som passerar genom dem och renar det, vilket gör gott för sundet i stort.

Mytilus visar skönheten hos dessa viktiga välgörare som går obemärkta förbi, men som de flesta Malmöiter har någon relation till.

A FESTIVAL FOR ECOLOGICAL CULTURE IN MALMÖ https://locallyalien.org/

The objective of this program is to look more deeply at nonhuman species (plants, fungi, animals, bacteria, and the rest) in Malmö and to better understand the market and state forces behind rapid extinction of species globally. Listening to, and looking to creatures around us, they can show us how these forces are at work here in the city.

In this post-industrial city we can find that the myth of “man and nature” is baked into its harbors, roads, and buildings. Through Locally Alien we will explore how domination, extraction, and exploitation have come to define our relationship to nonhuman residents of the city.

The program is composed of creative workshops, exhibitions, walks, and performances focused on the ecological culture of Malmö. Through the perspective of the city’s many different residents we might find new ways of relating to nonhuman ecology.
