Ceasefire. Now.
In response to the ruling by the International Criminal court of Justice that ordered Israel to refrain from acts under the Genocide convention, SWAN feel the urgency to further amplify the voices for action.
SWAN demands an immediate and definite ceasefire and a release of all hostages as well as the end of the blockade of Palestine. The deliberate targeting of civilians and journalists and critical voices are direct attacks on freedom of speech, the freedom of press and all forms of artistic freedom.
We urge all politicians of any nation and party to take responsibility and actions against genocidal acts and stand up for basic human rights with demands of an immediate cease fire.
______________________________________________
Som svar på Internationella domstolens avgörande som beordrar Israel att avstå från handlingar som bryter mot folkmordskonventionen, vill SWAN med ny kraft uppmana till handling. SWAN kräver ett omedelbart och definitivt eldupphör, frigivningen av samtliga gisslan och ett permanent upphävande av Palestinas blockad. När civila, journalister och kritiska röster är måltavlor är också yttrandefriheten, pressfriheten och alla former av konstnärlig frihet under direkt attack. Vi uppmanar våra politiker oavsett nationalitet och partifärg att ta ansvar och agera för att förhindra att folkmord begås, att värna de mest grundläggande mänskliga rättigheterna och kräva ett omedelbart eldupphör.


Emergency residencies
Through the initiative Emergency Residencies we work together with Artists at Risk (AR) for artists fleeing, or displaced from, the war in Ukraine to get to a safe residence in Sweden. We believe culture is an important part of the "democratic reflex" and is central to the freedom of expression and democratization, especially in times of polarization, such as war.





![Shared Open Call from @konstikronoberg :

" [Eng] Open Call: HULT – A Research-Based Residency Programme in Kronoberg County, 2026!
The HULT residency programme welcomes artists and curators in Sweden and the Nordic region, interested in exploring complex contemporary issues such as climate emergencies and societal transformation, with a particular focus on the dynamic relationships between urban and rural contexts. The programme challenges traditional notions of urban and rural by examining the undefined transitions and hybrid landscapes that arise between these environments.
Bild och Form Kronoberg offers two residency grants, one for visual artists and one for curators. The grant includes a ten-week residency spread over 2026, starting in May.
Bild och Form Kronoberg is the main coordinator for the HULT residency programme, which is run jointly with Linnaeus University, Växjö Konsthall and the Swedish Curator Association. Together, the organizations form the residence's working group.
Read more about HULT and apply at www.konstikronoberg.se (link in profile @konstikronoberg). Last day to apply is February 1.
