Two Europeans on a Platform is a performative installation by students of the Royal Institute of Art, responding to the work of Abdulrazak Gurnah, who was awarded the 2021 Nobel Prize in Literature.

He reflects on the displacement and changing perspectives of the immigrant’s journey between cultures and continents, and the effects of war and crises. The artists present a collective, pluralistic approach to translating his wisdom into an installation of words, images, sounds, performance and light.

Two Europeans on a Platform takes the shape of a little holiday kiosk, glowing with an otherworldly luminescence, standing on the pier on its own. Seemingly displaced from the festive market across the water in Gamla Stan, the kiosk is like no other: it shines like a lighthouse, radiating charged memories. It sells the one thing the others don’t: light.

The performance part of the artwork will be on during the following times:
2 – 3 December: 16.00 – 19.00
5 – 8 December: 16.00 – 18.00
9 – 10 December: 16.00 – 19.00
