BOOM!

På Sergels torg is a placemaking initiative in Stockholm. The aim is to revitalise Sergels torg, an iconic central plaza, into a space for people of all ages to experience art and culture. På Sergels torg offers year-round activities accessible to everyone in the heart of Stockholm. 2025 kicks off with performances, workshops, and exhibitions featuring both established and emerging artists. På Sergels torg is a collaboration between the City of Stockholm, local property owners and civil society. 

In the exhibition MAGIC AND RESISTANCE, BOOM! unites magic and sisterhood through glass objects charged with power and spells that protect against misogyny and promote solidarity. These objects, or amulets, manifest the invisible bonds that have connected women throughout history. The idea for the exhibition was born out of a sense of powerlessness in the face of negative societal changes that marginalize women, particularly those who defy norms. Within glass art—where glassblowing can be seen as a modern ritual—BOOM! finds a special kind of magic. Glassblowing is not just a technical process; it is an artistic and spiritual practice where artists play with matter, phenomena, and light. In the realms of art and magic, the past connects with the future, offering a path to liberation, community, and empowerment.

 The exhibition is produced by BOOM! with the support of På Sergels torg, a site collaboration project between the city of Stockholm, local property owners and civil society. På Sergels torg contributes to a living Sergels torg where people thrive and stay.
