  Hva er forholdet mellom kunst og konflikt? I denne boken utforsker forfatterne forholdet mellom kunst - visuell kunst, musikk og teater - og konflikter av ulik art, både åpenbare konflikter, deriblant væpnede konflikter og krig, og mer skjulte eller neglisjerte konflikter. Hva skjer med kunstneriske prosesser, verk og institusjoner i konfliktfylte politiske kontekster? Hvordan kan estetiske erfaringer og de ulike kunstarter bidra til å forstå og håndtere konflikter i vår hyperkomplekse verden i dag? Når blir kunsten selv gjenstand for konflikt? Og hvilken betydning har konflikter i kunstneriske og kunstpedagogiske prosesser? Konflikter kan eskalere og føre til vold og destruksjon - samtidig kan det være feil, og til og med farlig, å unngå eller fortrenge konflikt. Kunst kan skildre og fortolke konflikter eller gjøre et forsøk på å gripe inn i, bearbeide eller transformere konflikter. Den kan også provosere og skape motstand, og kan komme i skuddlinjen - i bokstavelig eller overført forstand. Antologien adresserer ambivalensen i selve konfliktbegrepet, og tematiserer «kunst og konflikt» gjennom kunsten som «linse» og optikk på samfunnet. Forfatterne kommer fra ulike kunstfag og forsker på kunst, gjennom kunst og i kunsten. De er kunstnere, kunstpedagoger og forskere og anvender en kontekstuell forståelse av kunst. Siemke Böhnisch og Randi Margrethe Eidsaa leder den tverrfaglige forskningsgruppen Kunst og konflikt ved Universitetet i Agder. Denne boken gis ut med åpen tilgang og kan leses og lastes ned fra Idunn.

• Kristensen, Jeppe (2026). INSIDE THE SADNESS LIQUID: DEPRESSION, PASSIVITY AND DISSOSIATION AS FIELDS IN ECOLOGICAL ART. Full text in Research Archive Show summary

  The presentation aimed to give insight into the beginnings of an artistic research project, where I work with mirror feelings of activism. The artistic work is a performance text based on a series of play-sketches I doodled 30 years ago. The revisiting of these sketches tries to map the changes in worldview I have gone through since. The artistic work is done in conversation with Timothy Morton’s metaphor of the filled chocolates of dark ecology (Morton 2016). In the chocolate metaphor Morton slowly sucks his way through the eco catastrophe’s outer layers of melancholy and negativity into layers of playfulness and joy. The joint chocolate eating with Morton aims to find openings for a new form of relevance in ecological, political or socially engaged contemporary theatre – a relevance that starts with the acceptance of and interest in dark feelings of depression, passivity and dissociation and avoids activism that might relieve or hide these feelings. The research design of the project mimic the covert writing process of the original sketches that were written as small outbursts of imagination meshed in with all the daily activities and emotional happenings of the teenager still far away from a place in the professional theatre. The new writing, in the same manner, is a process that happens in the creases (Schechner 2013) – a process where I am writingly related to my world. In the presentation I opened for reflections on how a personal itch can work as a navigational tool to find ways of working on the perimeters of art institutions and research paradigms, and to find ways into uncomfortable and unexplored topics.

  Quonga kort fortalt Quonga startede for 20 år siden og har siden været et åbent netværk for scenekunstvækstlaget med base i Århus. Vi arbejder på at gøre vækstlaget mere synligt og skabe en fast og inspirerende grobund for scenekunst. Det gør vi helt konkret ved at afholde en årlig festival ved navn QuongaFest. I Quonga er der plads til alle, der brænder for det scenekunstneriske vækstlag, og derfor forsøger vi at skabe et talerør og en platform for spirende scenekunstnere. For mere informationer opfordrer vi at man udforsker Quonga og Teatret Svalgangens sociale medier og hjemmesider. QuongaFest 2026 QuongaFest 2026 kommer til at foregå den 25.-27. Juni 2026 på Teatret Svalegangen. Hvis din eller jeres forestilling skal med til næste festival, kan du du/I melde jer til, når vi holder open call til efteråret. Hvornår startede Quonga? Quonga blev dannet i efteråret 2006, da et medlem af Dansk Amatør Teater & Scenekunst (DATS) samlede det århusianske vækstlag til nogle netværksmøder med henblik på at samle det spredte og uorganiserede vækstlag. I starten bestod Quonga kun af otte medlemmer og en mailliste. Styregruppen ønskede, at Quonga med tiden skulle lægge navn til en række initiativer – bl.a. en årlig festival. Det er den festival, der nu hedder QuongaFest, der nu foregår hvert år på Teatret Svalegangen. Men hvorfor så navnet Quonga? Navnet Quonga blev valgt, efter en af de første medlemmer havde overhørt nogle børn synge "Quonga" i stedet for "Quando" i sangen ”Quando, Quando, Quando”. Navnet blev valgt, fordi ordet Quonga ikke havde nogen betydning. Det betyder, at alt, hvad navnet står for i dag, er skabt af Quonga selv. Quonga i dag I dag består Quonga af 11 arrangører og en bestyrelse, som arbejder fra efteråret og frem til QuongaFest. Udover at være en platform for det scenekunstneriske vækstlag, bestræber vi os også på at skabe rammerne for, at teaterglade mennesker i Aarhus og resten af landet kan netværke med hinanden bl.a. gennem sociale aktiviteter i løbet af festivalen.

• Kristensen, Jeppe (2026). Openings: Rethinking University Education as Entry-Point for Not-yet-artists/academics/pedagogues. Full text in Research Archive Show summary

  In 2025 The University of Agder, Norway, relaunched our theatre bachelor program. The new curriculum was a reaction to a common crisis of dwindling number of students, financial restrictions, and an ecosystem of partners, art institutions and potential student job opportunities under pressure as seen broadly among non-metropolitan arts educations throughout Norway. In this presentation we will present the thoughts behind the restructuring of the BA program and highlight the positives of adapting arts education to provincial town conditions as inspiration to arts pedagogy in general. We will focus on three main strategies: Variety: In rethinking education as an entry-point the focus has been on making an education for students that do not yet know what they want within the field. What positives can come from wanting to offer an education of highest possible standard to possible theatre pedagogues, artists and academics in one? Community: The sparse local cultural infrastructure has made it a focus to rethink the program as part of a community building effort. How can an education help and be helped by the local cultural infrastructure through intimate collaboration with schools, cultural institutions or independent artists with the ambition to open doors for students to their future environment? Identity: Focussing on the individual student’s need to develop her own identity within a broad education, the strategy has been to develop a core of theatre competences that are necessary in all strands of theatre work and build a structure around individual projects where students develop subjectivity, learn through socialization and fine tune own competences in specializations such as directing, acting or dramaturgy as well as pedagogic and academics. How can students using the programme to find individual paths enrich the education for all, and how can the sense of collective emerge as a theatre-related competence for everyone?

• Kristensen, Jeppe (2025). Dramaturgies of necessity. Invention a new theatrical language through 'the Real' in the performances Love Theater, Welcome to Twin Peaks and Cleo's Future. Full text in Research Archive Show summary

  This presentation presented experiences as a director and dramaturg working between reality and theatre. The three performances “Love Theater”, “Welcome to Twin Peaks” and “Cleo’s future” work with ordinary people as material, actors and co-creators. In “Love Theatre”, a Thai prostitute participated in reconstructing scenes from her working life in an interactive work about globalized sexuality and intimacy. In “Welcome to Twin Peaks”, residents of the out-back region Odsherred took part in creating and performing a documentary road-performance based on the memories of the 90s show and the realities of life in the left behind area. In “Cleo’s future” I worked with my then 14 year-old daughter to create a series of performance-conversations in which Cleo asked experts to lay out her likely future for her. In all three performances reality have had an enormous impact on the actual, hands-inthe-dirt, practical work. And a new set of dramaturgies and theatricalities have emerged out of pure necessity. At the same time, in all three cases, dramaturgies and popular fictions have shown to be already present as social truths and realities The presentation will present how these artistic practices manifest a necessity to engage with problematic dramaturgies of the real world.
