As part of the exhibition program for Sophie Ristelhueber – Hasselblad Award 2025, we invite you to a workshop with artist Subani Melin. Taking inspiration from Ristelhueber’s photographs—where both skin and soil bear traces of violence, time, and memory—we will explore the body as a terrain for wounds, traces, and stories.

The workshop begins with a short conversation with Subani Melin on the impact of grief on the body, on artistic work as a space for presence, and on working with materials that carry their own memories.

Participants will then be invited to explore weaving with paper. We will work with printed images—both prepared and personal—that will transform into bodily and visual landscapes of memory. The workshop is designed to welcome both beginners and experienced participants, and it concludes with a collective conversation around the works created.

Date & Time: Wednesday, November 5, 5:30–7:30 PM
Venue: Hasselblad Center at the Gothenburg Museum of Art
Note: Limited seats available. Register via email at
