Large-scale patterns on the walls and books wrapped in batik fabrics; the newly finished Yinka Shonibare Room is a pedagogical environment that not only provides state-of-the art light, sound, ergonomics and acoustics, it is a room that seeks to evoke emotion and elicit reflection over topics such as globalization, colonialism, world trade and the construction of cultural identity.

As last year we are launching Handels x Mejan: an exhibition with four newly graduated master students from The Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm (also known as Mejan) at the SSE Campus. The exhibition is curated by the students in Art Division, SSE (also known as Handels), and will take place on campus (Sveavägen 65) until June 3.

This year the Stockholm School of Economics will be lit up as part of the Nobel Week Light. The light installation Between the lines is created by Fanny Englund and Bruna Porsia from The Light Bureau as an hommage to Bertil Ohlin, SSE professor and one of the Nobel laureates in 1977.

Thanks to a collaboration between Maria Bonnier Dahlin Foundation, Bonniers Konsthall and Stockholm School of Economics, works from the foundation are being displayed at SSE for a longer period of time. To increase the variation, some works have during October 2021 been exchanged by others. We welcome works by Olof Marsja, Sunniva McAlinden, Per Hüttner, Helena Mutanen, Lisa Jonasson and Hilde Retzlaf to the school.

The Flag Project is a multiform art exhibition by the Swedish artist Jacob Dahlgren featuring all kind of events at SSE during September and October 2021. The exhibition will consist of flags on the poles outside the SSE main building welcoming the students back to school, artist-led flag-workshops, manufacturing of flags in the atrium and a series of seminars on the topic of abstraction.
