KONSTLYFTET
Sweden

KONSTLYFTET was launched in 2011 by Malmö Konsthall and KKV Grafik, and focuses on people with cognitive or physical functional challenges. The participants are inspired by exhibitions at Malmö Konsthall and work with graphics on a small and large scale. Everyone participates based on their own unique circumstances.

In the KONSTLYFTET project, 12 daily activities programmes for people with functional impairments have visited Malmö Konsthall and been inspired by the exhibitions in 2016. During a total of 59 workshop events they have tested ideas and explored techniques and materials. The focus has been on graphics and on creating by making prints, including bookmarks for this project.

Participants: Daglig Verksamhet LSS Annexet, Bokbytet, Butik Holmgången, Fabriken, Framtiden, Informationsgruppen, Kronan, Lindeborg, Linnéhuset, Pappersmakarna, Sopstationen and Tolvan.

Project managers/artists: Antje Nilsson, Malmö Konsthall, and Eva Hejdström & Anne Marte Overaa, KKV Grafik. KONSTLYFTET has received funding from Malmö Department of Culture.
