Safar سفر
– Moving with dreams, wastelands and our utopian realities

Safar* is a series of performances in public space. Performative talks between activists, thinkers, witches and artists about anarchy, strategy, possible utopian realities and the spaces our bodies inhabit. Dreams practiced. In wastelands and gardens of exiles.

Outside or parallel or beyond the patriarchal, capitalist, heterosexist, colonial, hegemonic order there are realities of sisterhood, love, collaboration, care, hope and community. Sharing influence and not taking power. In solidarity.

In Safar the duo aghili/karlsson invites sisters they admire. They ask them to share parts of their lives and their visions in a travelling performative talk, moving from the center of Stockholm to the duo’s studio in the rural areas on the edge of the city. A participatory travel where others can join in moving, talking and sharing a meal.

aghili/karlsson is the collaborative work of Swedish-Iranian artist, writer and director Nasim Aghili and Swedish artist and horticulturist Björn Karlsson. The duo works with projects addressing experiences of living in various kinds of exile and the making of grievability – often through healing rituals.
