Welcome to the opening of the exhibition THE MUSEUM FAUNA – Lost Tails and Unheard Stories of Resistance at Skissernas Museum in Lund on June 5th.
Together with all the wonderful people at the museum, it is now time to celebrate the project we have been working on for several years. An extra heartfelt thank you to Malin Enarsson (curator), Annie Lindberg (museum director), Alexandra Altmark (curator of the Lund University art collection) and Nilufar Salehi (who served as acting curator during her leave), who have guided me through the winding paths of the University’s art collection — your knowledge, trust, and generous support have meant the world to me throughout this massive undertaking.
From the website of Skissernas Museum:
Artist and researcher EvaMarie Lindahl has done artistic investigations of the art collections of Skissernas Museum and Lund University. With an artist’s perspective and through methods from critical animal studies, Lindahl investigates which individuals are hiding in the collections and how their stories can be told.
In her art projects, Lindahl questions our human-centred art history by rewriting and imagining new (art) histories where animals are at the centre. She challenges preconceived power relations between animals and humans, reflecting on humans’ habit of oppressing other animals. Not least by using them as resources and materials in art production.
The exhibition shows both new and older artworks by Lindahl. Her drawings, video works, textiles and texts correspond in different ways with selected paintings and sketches from the collections.
Inauguration at 18
Museum Director Annie Lindberg and Curator Malin Enarsson welcome you to the opening, in the presence of the artist. Bar and mingling in Birgit Rausing’s Hall all evening.
The exhibition is on view at Skissernas Museum from 5 June to 2 November 2025.
