Uke 35 Interdisciplinary festival

Sign up here

ROM and Oslo Open invite you to this year’s UKE 35 – two days of conversations, insights, and learning across art, architecture, design, and other creative disciplines. Rather than presenting finished results, artists, designers, architects, writers, and institutions open up their processes: the methods, experiments, challenges, and pathways that lead to transformation, inclusion, environmental and social sustainability.

«Uke 35» is an annual festival and meeting place for students and professionals from the fields of art, architecture, and design, organized by ROM for kunst og arkitektur.

See the full program and more about the contributors at rom.no.

Oslo Open collaborates with ROM in organizing this year’s festival.

The festival is supported by KORO and Sparebankstiftelsen DNB.
