Salad Hilowle works in a variety of media. He is mainly known for his acclaimed video works, which are presented in the context of film and art, but he also works with photography, sculpture, performance and installation. With rare sensitivity and precision, he uses a research-based method that highlights forgotten or hidden stories in art history and popular culture. In his art, Hilowle has often investigated how Afro-Swedes have been represented in cultural history. By examining archival documents, Hilowle tracks down overlooked subjects and tells their stories.
In his exhibition at Rikstolvan, Hilowle shows a number of video works.

Samaneh Roghani weaves together personal stories with universal stories of people fighting for a better life. There is opposition, resistance and migration that are met with fear, oppression and persecution.
Roghani uses a variety of media and techniques to express herself and weaves together her personal experiences by incorporating self-portraits into the very structure of her works. Focusing on installations that provide the audience with a multi-sensory experience by combining visual, auditory and tactile elements, Roghani creates powerful experiences that provide a better understanding of the conditions of our contemporary societies.
In his exhibition at Rikstolvan, Roghani shows three different installations.

The exhibitions are shown until on August 12, 2023.
