Karlaplan

Great market for both antiques bargaining and second hand jeans! This flea market is extremely popular on TikTok :) New vendors every Saturday (about 100 every day) so great potential for finding real treasures. You&#x27;ll find the market in the park around the fountain of Karlaplan. Stroll through the market, have a fika and enjoy a day in the park.

Berghs School of Communication is back with their annual graduation exhibition. In a time that values speed and seamlessness, they choose to stay with the tension. Because within resistance, questions take shape, meanings shift, and courage emerges. Across two days of projects, installations, and conversations, the festival explores something often avoided, yet deeply necessary: FRICTION.

For the fifth time, photographer Ivar Sviestins showcases pictures outdoors in Gröndal Strand. The theme is &quot;Body, dance, touch, forest&quot;. They all have the body in common – as sculpture, in dance and movement, in intimate encounter, and as a mysterious creature in the winter forest. They are produced with a historical technique: &quot;Gum print&quot; or &quot;Gum Bichromate Print&quot; to obtain more tactile and sensual qualities in the prints.

One of the most beloved classical operas with impeccably beautiful music – but now is the time to dismiss Madama Butterfly’s romantic light. Cio-Cio San is a fifteen-year-old girl who is sold to an American officer, but she dreams of and believes in love until the bitter end.  In director Sofia Adrian Jupither’s version, with its substantial dose of realism, the contrast between gentle music and hard reality becomes a heart-rending experience.
