Saturday–Sunday at Drottningtorget

The works are printed in an unlimited edition on A3 paper. All visitors are welcome to take a copy, fold it into an envelope, write an address of their choice, add a postage stamp and slip the work of art into a letterbox – to whom they think it would concern.

The second edition 2016 is a result from a workshop held in December last year by Jittra Cotshadet, Nedine Kachornnamsong and Lina Persson.

The workshop was called Filmwork/Textilework, from global outsourcing to DIY where they compared and shared perspectives from the labour movement of textile and animation industry. Based on the exchange they had from the workshop, this Bilaga edition was created.
