The Imagining Body - Course

The course will be carried out through guided workshops, film screenings and reading seminars. In the later part of the course, you will develop and share an artistic proposal that involves your own understanding of the course’s central themes.

We will not be doing physically intense exercising but expect to challenge sensation and perception. Expect to engage in group activities and playful social environments. With that said, no activity is compulsory, and you are encouraged to take a step back if something is not working for you.

We are open and committed to providing an accessible space for people with different needs, abilities, and faith denominations. Please reach out to us with any questions or concerns prior to or during your application.

Course leaders: Áron Birtalan (they) is an artist, musician and a student of theology who works with mystical practices, guiding words, unruly thoughts and educational initiatives. Gabriel Widing (he/him) is an artist and game designer, interested in performance, play and participation. His artistic work often happens in the collective Nyxxx.

If you are a Swedish citizen or a citizen of another EU or EEA country you are not required to pay application or tuition fees. Some other groups are also exempt from the requirement to pay application and study fees.

A few years ago Sweden introduced application and tuition fees for higher education. The level of the study fees depends on which course/programme they are for, and the level is set in order to cover the actual costs of the course/programme in question. SKH has some possibilities of offering scholarships that cover the whole study fee or that subsidise it.

If you are required to pay an application fee, the Swedish Council for Higher Education needs to receive your payment by the last date forpaying the tuition fee. The application fee is SEK 900. If you are required to pay the application fee and the Swedish Council for Higher Education has not received your payment by the last date for paying the tuition fee, they will not process your application.
