Welcome to the last Velferden Presents of 2025: A christmas gather with music, food and artist presentation in the Director's house!

We invite you to a pleasant pre-Christmas gathering in the artist's residence in Sokndal: we light the fireplace, we serve sour cream porridge and mulled wine, and there will be live music.

Meet the artist duo Silvia Amancei & Bogdan Armanu who are staying with us now in December!

VELFERDEN PRESENTS is a series of events where artists and researchers present themselves and their work, creating a space for joint dialogue.

Time and place:

ABOUT THE ARTISTS:

Silvia Amancei and Bogdan Armanu (b. 1991, Iași/Timișoara, Romania) are an artist couple collaborating since 2012 and currently living and working in Sandnes, Rogaland. Their artistic practice transgresses multiple forms and formats, searching for meanings and methods to contextualize their existence within a broad political and cultural spectrum.

“With the occasion of our residency stay at Velferden, we are looking forward to making use of the offered time and solitude, developing our ongoing research and video practice, while being open for experimentation and interaction with the local environment and histories.”
