Olga Tsaplya Egorova's residency is undertaken as part of her preparation for her contribution to Kin’s multi-year project, Den goda maten, scheduled to commence in 2025. Both d harding and Amol Patil will participate in a group exhibition at the museum in 2026. Additionally, d harding will collaborate with the Sámi Schools in Kiruna and Karesuando, where students will initiate an exchange with indigenous peers from the artist’s home region in Queensland, Australia. d harding and Amol Patil’s residencies are realized in collaboration with Iaspis, The International Artists Studio Program in Stockholm.

During their residency, eeefff will be working with students from the senior high school in Kiruna where they will also lead a “konstkollo,” an art camp, in June. While the artist duo Anca Benera & Arnold Estefan will be spending their time in Kiruna preparing for a group exhibition in 2026, Anna Titova and Stas Shuripa are doing research for a new project—all of them will be in Kiruna during the summer. This coming fall, Luca Frei will continue his work on Kin’s display furniture as functional sculptures, while Bella Rune and Jonas Nobel will collaboratively explore the interior of Kiruna’s City Hall in connection with the theatrical tradition of “the farce.”
