Konstfack Research Week 2026

Throughout Konstfack Research Week 2026, we will have the opportunity to reflect on and encounter a range of perspectives connected to Sensory Knowledge: Tactile Practices & Embodied Learning. The week will offer examples of how artistic research can influence and interact with society at large, engage with diverse contexts and contribute to the circulation of new insights.

Konstfack Research Week 2026 takes place over four days:

On Monday, 26 January, perspectives on the core theme will be introduced by Konstfack’s Vice-Chancellor, Head of Research, and invited keynote speakers.

On Tuesday, 27 January, Konstfack scholars will share their views on the theme and discuss how these perspectives are being explored in research and pedagogical projects.

Wednesday and Thursday, 28–29 January, are devoted to the research nodes—a series of events combining lectures and workshops that further activate ideas related to sensory knowledge. All Konstfack Research Week events, with the exception of some node activities, are open to the public.

Here is the Konstfack Research Week program and more information.
