Until September 30th you can experience the artwork Sadaqah Jariyah – On behalf of Nils Amund Raknerud, by artist Fadlabi for the 2024 Luleå Biennial, in Luleå.
During the winter of 2023-24, artist Fadlabi transformed Luleå’s Ice Road wind shelters with vibrant colours, intricate patterns, and calligraphy inspired by his Sudanese roots. In spring, after the ice has melted, these colourful structures have been repurposed and installed in the neighbourhood of Hertsön in Luleå.
At Hertsön, these structures are reconfigured and gain a new purpose, marking the threshold between a civic public space and a construction site. The colourful installation breathes new life into previously unused spaces, and also brings attention to an area of the city undergoing rapid transformations.
