#39 Urban Narratives
A round table discussion with Meira Ahmemulic, Antonio Scarponi and Elin Wikström.
Adapted to text by Katja Aglert, Martijn van Berkum and Janna Holmstedt

Nevertheless, we thought it was an interesting thread we had stumbled upon and felt compelled to follow up and decided to do this under the theme of Urban Narrative.

Cooking and tasting food while sharing stories is to me a privileged access point that reveals much more than what it seems to tell.

#25 A Parallel Script To The Film: The Dream Of A Book
- Beata BerggrenImage: A very sunny late summers day at the southern coast of Sweden. On the beach a placard has been erected, 3,60 x 2,55 meters. Behind it, the sea and the sandy beach. The sun stands low and shines like a lamp on the placard. A shimmering light from the sea. The placard is painted with straight lines, in the same colors as the sky, the sea and the beach. It is quite windy and Dad is standing behind the placard, holding a rope to straighten it up. On the placard it is written:

#14 Yet Another Artist With A Project
- Katja Aglert17.09.2000. The Red Light District in Amsterdam is 700 years old and at a distance looks rather charming,
with all the red lamps, cobblestones and picturesque bridges. Unaccustomed as I am to the area, I study the

#1 "I Have Never Seen A Girl Wearing a Muslim Headscarf on Television Without It Being About The Scarf..."
- A conversation with Rikke Andreassen by Ellen NymanI am at an art exhibition in Germany, watching an educational fi lm on how to use a condom for protection against
AIDS. The film is from South Africa. One of the women at the lesson giggles and smiles shyly, as she pulls a
condom over a wooden phallus. Her friends are in stitches and the situation exudes lust and
powerlessness. I am watching the film, surrounded by happy German art lovers. But they are no longer looking at
the film. They are looking at me with well-meaning expressions on their faces.
