ABOUT THE PROJECT

Kjøkkenhage is a socially engaged art project by artist soso brafield in collaboration with Bergen Fengsel, Bergen Kunsthall and Festspillene I Bergen,
FestspillKollektivet:

Kjøkkenhage is a living sculpture that is made together with the women living inside of bergen prison, Ane Haga, Helene Myksvoll Kristoffer Brosvik Thorsen, Maria Helena Nerhus and Marius Grønn-Nielsen. It is an intersectional project that embraces education, art, sustainability and craft.

Through creative thinking, designing, gardening and cooking, a feminist, non-hierarchical social space has grown. Kjøkken hage is a green space for mental and physical health, for tactile focus and distractions away from potential life hurdles. The project works with the creation of culinary dishes through all of the phases, from the soil to the table; sowing, growing, cultivating, cooking and eating.

Through everyday nuances of care, larger life changing effects can happen.

The project is supported by Kavlifondet, Bergen kommune, Kulturrådet and Vestland fylkeskommune. Thank you to Europris for the pallets, Møretyri for the wood oil, Neumann and Geitanger for the wood, Obs Bygg Åsane for the concrete, Plastmo for the poly carbonate and Steinsenteret for the sand!
