Shifting Coordinates

June Exhibition 2026
30.05. — 28.06.2026
Opening Friday 29 May

How does Black storytelling explore ritual, resistance, and imagination across the Nordics?

This question anchors Peer Review’s collective project and transitions the 2026 June Exhibition at Kunstnerforbundet into a discursive platform and a month-long institutional takeover. Titled ‘Shifting Coordinates’, the exhibition transforms Kunstnerforbundet into a discursive platform centering Black Nordic artistic production across visual art, writing, film, and performance. Newly commissioned and existing works are presented alongside a public programme unfolding throughout June.

Peer Review (est. 2024) is a collective platform for cultural analysis across Black visual culture for and by Africans and its diaspora in Oslo. Since its establishment, Peer Review members gather for monthly in-person meetings at Atelier Kunstnerforbundet and field trips that host a space to respond and reflect on Black expressions in art, media, and popular culture contexts.
