The Other Side of the Mountain

”Until the lion has their historian, the hunter will always be a hero.” – African proverb

11 artists, nearly 60 works and three new commissions.

The Other side of the Mountain brings together contemporary artists working across the African continent and within the Afro-Nordic diaspora. They explore how cities and modern landscapes shape our connections to one another and to the places we inhabit, creating distance or bringing us closer together.
