In addition to my own artwork I have many years of educational experience with aesthetic teaching for children, adolescents and adults (schools, museums, folk high schools, etc.)
Workshop for
children in
northern Norway
During the summer of 2015 and 16 I was staying in Berlevåg cultural centre Kvitbracka in Norway. Together with a colleague we were invited to hold workshops for children and young people, in addition to having a special exhibition at the harbor museum’s beautiful little exhibition hall. There we showed prints and items inspired by the stay the year before.
International
Drawing Workshop
in Hannover
During some summer weeks of 2016, I was invited to attend an international drawing workshop in Hanover organized by the artist association Ars Terra. We were six artists from Brazil, Japan, Germany and Sweden. The results from the workshop was showed in an exhibition in Rodeundlanfer gallery in Hannover.
Kulturgedanken
With ink and paper abroad – Ars Terra artist workshop in Hannover 2016 Artists from Brasil, Japan, Sweden came to Hannover, the capital of Lower Saxony in the northern part of Germany for a fortnight, joining an international drawing workshop. They all jump into an adventure with unknown people in an unknown area, paying the fareprice and also a part of their yearly vacation. And they are busy with their profession, only interrupted by some small steps into museums and touristic trips.
It’s no competition, it’s only the hope to get some new contacts and fresh ideas. When they tell that it happened it will be the biggest success. – And they told me so.
Today Kiyomi Kuriki from Japan, Sofi Hagman and Anna Karin Waara from Sweden, Luiz Ge and Mauricio Piza from Brasil and Claudi von Rohr as a local artist from Hannover presented some of their results and the confirmation that they got fresh impressions and met new partners in their profession
Sofi from Lund in Sweden tells the story of loosing controll or giving up controlling in a pictorial way; she is constructing signs with different associations. Her crossing are like signs of closing a way or finishing a wrapping with paper. But you also can read it as a mark on a ground with no meaning or a hidden secret. Sofi likes to let even finished situations stay open.
Women’s Studio Workshop
I spent one month in Residence at Women’s Studio Workshop, Rosendale, NY, USA 2019 My “Artist Book” project ALL MY AUNTS was created with lead types on a letterpress and the pictures in the book were printed with an intaglio press (photopolymer, drypoints and linoleum).
The residency is part of an exchange program between WSW and KKV-grafik in Malmö.
Sofi Hagman is an artist residing and working in Lund, Sweden. She was educated at Hovedskous Art school in Gothenburg, Sweden and at The Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków, Poland. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Art and Psychology from the University of Lund and Gothenburg. She often finds inspiration in her immediate environment, not because she wants to depict it, but to investigate and interpret forms and try to understand why it affects her. She has exhibited widely in Sweden, Austria, Poland, Macedonia, Serbia, Ukraine, Russia, England, Finland, and Japan, and she is a member of Artist-driven Galleries ”Grafiska Sällskapet” in Stockholm and ”Grafik i Väst” in Gothenburg.
