Welcome to Konstfack Research Week where artistic research interacts with society and generates new perspectives
Throughout Konstfack Research Week 26–29 January, we will have the opportunity to reflect on and encounter a range of perspectives connected to Sensory Knowledge: Tactile Practices & Embodied Learning. The week offers examples of how artistic research can influence and interact with society at large, engage with diverse contexts and contribute to the circulation of new insights.
Monday 26 January: Perspectives on the core theme are introduced by Konstfack’s Vice-Chancellor Anna Valtonen, Head of Research Magnus Bärtås, Professor Maja Gunn and invited keynote speakers Kristina Hagström-Ståhl (The Slowness of Hands and Thought), Gry Worre Hallberg (Sisters Hope – Embodying a Sensuous Society) and Daniel Peltz (Shying a Way).
Tuesday 27 January: Konstfack scholars share their views on the theme and discuss how these perspectives are being explored in research and pedagogical projects.
Wednesday and Thursday 28–29 January are devoted to the research nodes — a series of events combining lectures and workshops that further activate ideas related to sensory knowledge.
All Konstfack Research Week events, with the exception of some node activities, are open to the public. Check out the full programme here: Konstfack Research Week 2026 Booklet
