KOM project

The KOM project is a collaboration between the Centre for Critical Heritage Studies (Heritage Academy and Heritage and Wellbeing), Konstepidemin, the Medical History Museum, Folkuniversitetet and the association Spotcity. The epidemic hospital was founded in 1886, and operated for more than one hundred years, until it was transformed into a psychiatric clinic in the 70’s. Today the building houses approximately 130 artists, musicians, dancers, writers and film makers.

The project aims to tell the stories of the former residents of the hospital by collecting memories of former patients, archaeological digs at the site and artists, poets, film makers and musicians active at Konstepidemin are going to create artwork that wiull be part of an exhibition at the site.
