– A Contemporary Art Festival in Stockholm
21 – 24 September 2023

Collaborating art organizations: Accelerator, coyote, Filmform, IASPIS, Index, Konsthall C, Liljevalchs, MDT, Mint and Tensta konsthall

An initiative by Mint and Index including a specially curated programme by Cathrin Mayer

September Sessions – A Contemporary Art Festival in Stockholm is launching its first edition this autumn with a dense programme spread over various art organizations in the city. It is hosting exhibitions, performances, concerts, film screenings, IASPIS Open Studios, readings and parties.

In resonance to this edition, Cathrin Mayer is curating “Echoes”, an ephemeral performance and music program spread across semi-public and public spaces of Stockholm. A church, a boat and a listening room among others will become vessels to celebrate the fleeting and fragile nature of time-based media.

With generous support from the City of Stockholm, The Swedish Arts Council, and the Region of Stockholm
