The Holmen Festival is a celebration of the relationships between artistic research, biological excellence, everyday life, local community and theoretical deepening that have emerged at Bryggeriholmen in Gnesta.
In recent years, we have created new shared spaces: a greenhouse that is always open, a grill to gather around, a pallet collar farm where neighbors can grow their own food. Artists have been invited to produce new permanent works inspired by the islet’s history, geology and ruins. Biologists have taken part in inventorying which other species inhabit the islet. What new public spaces can emerge if we take several species into account? What is required for continued continuous care of shared spaces?
With its roots in the Holmen Festival of previous decades (celebrated by the local residents at the time), we invite you to a day full of food, art and conversation.
Welcome!
