OPEN CALL
OPI Lab 2023/2024
Last day to apply: 20. April 2023

OPI Lab seeks professional practitioners to form a multidisciplinary group for 2023/24, comprising 16 people with experience in art, architecture, curatorial work, social practice, landscape architecture, and/or other related fields.

The Lab hopes to bring together a diverse group who work with different approaches, with the belief that different backgrounds and life experiences enrich the learning experience and the discussions that can take place, and significantly, that a diverse group of voices is essential in shaping our public spaces.

Join our public
Open door sessions

The work performed at OPI Lab is closely tied to socializing with the surroundings, and with each other, as a necessary component of building ideas through conviviality. We host a once-monthly Open Door Session as a public moment in the OPI Lab storefront space in Gröndal, where we offer food and drinks, discuss and share some of what we do with colleagues, friends, passersby, and people from the neighborhood. See the calendar below for future Open Door Sessions.
