This year's residency brings to Tranås two international filmmakers and two Swedish artists!
Laura Kristine Graham Anderson is a Danish filmmaker and performer. In her work, she explores how personal and existential experiences can be expressed through embodied storytelling, symbolic visuals and performativity. Laura recently completed her MFA in Film at HDK-Valand in Gothenburg and she previously studied BA Drama at Queen Mary, University of London. In addition to her formal education, Laura is a skilled belly dancer and teacher - a practice she very much draws upon in her film and performance work.

Solomia is a Ukrainian psychotherapist, writer, and emerging interdisciplinary artist based in Lviv, Ukraine. In her practice, she explores the relationship between art, memory, emotional experience, and healing. She is interested in how artistic practices can help us process difficult events, reconnect with sensitivity, and create new meanings from personal and collective experience.
Her work is rooted in observation, slow living, writing, and visual storytelling. Alongside her psychotherapeutic practice, she participates in free writing practices, has performed as an actress, and created her first short film Balconies of Time. Through her artistic work, she is drawn to intimate, reflective forms that pay attention to everyday details, inner landscapes, and the quiet traces of memory.

Karl Larsson, Based in Gothenburg, Sweden. With degrees in exhibition design (Mälardalen university, SE) and light design (Jönköping University, SE) and a Masters in fine art (Central Saint Martins, London, UK). Karl art deals with different perspectives and approaches towards art and its presence. In the ongoing Miljonprogrammet (The One Million project) Karl has since 2003 been using photography to investigate numbers (the abstract), time and space as a way to transform and critical approach the narratives of contemporary art and society. The notion of inclusive collegial processes is a vital part of Karl's practice. What you experience is rather a meeting in real time than the variety of different outcomes of objects placed in the room. Often using everyday material as a mean to approach and express different ideas and thoughts. There is a playfulness in Karl's art, this as a way to view and analyze different styles of hierarchies.
I grew up in Månsarp and Taberg and spent my late teens in Skåne. Creativity has always been central to my life, and it is what ultimately led me to leave my job as a laboratory technician to pursue art. Today, I explore storytelling across various formats - ranging from picture books and animation to text - letting the idea dictate the choice of medium. My current project is a picture book inspired by the area around Småland. Taberg - a love letter to the local landscape, memories, legends and magic. During the residency at Tranås at the Fringe, I hope to meet other artists, find inspiration and a sense of community and further develop my path as an artist.
