As part of the ongoing group exhibition Taking Root, Fargfabriken is hosting an artist talk with Filippa Arrias (b. 1971, Gothenburg), exclusive for Stockholm Art Week. Filippa Arrias (b. 1971) works mainly with painting and collage, through which she explores how we perceive time and memory. Arrias mixes documented stories, including archival photographs, with personal images and narratives. She moves between different media and layers of materiality, time, and memory processes. Taking Root is a group exhibition that weaves together questions about soil, migration, displacement, places, and cultivation in various ways. The exhibition ties in with how we humans take care of the earth. Through contemporary artistic practices, it explores how people, plants, ideas, and cultures take root—in the earth, in memory, in language, and in new territories.

Färgfabriken is a foundation and an exhibition space for contemporary art and architecture. We produce and showcase exhibitions in a former factory building in the old industrial area of Lövholmen, where we have operated since 1995. Färgfabriken is also a space for talks, workshops and other cultural activities. By working experimentally and across borders, bringing together different experiences and skills, Färgfabriken creates the conditions for new ideas, knowledge, and artistic creations.
