The program included a conversation and listening session with the artist Meira Ahmemulić, featuring the premiere of her newly commissioned sound work När moster gav SKF fingret (translation, “When aunt gave SKF the finger”).
När moster gav SKF fingret is about the haunting power of words and cursing as resistance. Ahmemulić is inspired by curses from the villages Gusinje and Plav in Montenegro, situated in the shadow of Prokletije – the Accursed Mountains.
