Anna Haglund - In(ter)vention - In English
For one week, visitors have the opportunity to experience and co-create the work In(ter)vention: I felt like a human being. Anna Haglund has composed sound art works in several projects, where simple instructions in headphones become a collective choreography. The work is a kind of exercise in listening, trust, presence and interaction.

About the work
What does it take to make you feel like a human being? During 2023-2024 Anna Haglund has been artist-in-residence in the research group CHAP (Child Health and Parenting) at Uppsala University. Based on Elin Inge's disertation project on emotional and ethical factors in co-creative research, the interactive work has taken shape.
Anna Haglund explores how we can create spaces where quiet care, trust and listening are allowed to take place and form the basis of interpersonal interaction. What happens to us when we find ourselves in situations that require our presence as human beings, beyond our social or professional roles?
The work consists of a series of choreographic exercises that the audience can participate in through instructions in headphones. In fragmentary scenes, the participants meet each other and themselves in a kind of exercise in listening and trust, presence, interaction and togetherness. They become part of the work, as co-creators in a choreographed interpersonal interaction.
Collaborating partners
The work has been created by the artist Anna Haglund in collaboration with the research group CHAP at Uppsala University where Elin Inge, Georgina Warner and Anna Sarkadi are part of the team together with Nimo Elmi and Yasmin Cumar who are target group representatives with experience of migration and working in research. In addition, the team consists of Helena Conning, Communications Strategist.
Within the project, Haglund has also created a multi-channel electro-acoustic composition. The vocals in the work consist of voices from CHAP staff and singers from Uppsala Vokalensemble.
