Artist Nils Norman and curator Samantha Lippett brainstorm a citywide exhibition and urban plan, titled ‘The Model: A City Reimagined’. The exhibition draws inspiration from public playgrounds as a site for imagination, collaboration and activism. Nils Norman is an artist working across the disciplines of public art, architecture and urban planning. Samantha Lippett is a curator and educator working across the disciplines of arts education, social practice and independent radio.

“The Aural Exhibitions” are a series of sound only exhibitions produced by Index – The Swedish Contemporary Art Foundation.
