Welcome to our next Plattform event with this year's Festival Artist, Anawana Haloba in conversation with Trond Lossius.
Anawana Haloba's Festival Exhibition fills the galleries of Bergen Kunsthall with sound, voices, sculptures, plants, and rhythms — a space where individual experiences intertwine with collective histories of resistance, care, and survival. The title of the exhibition, "From This Darkness I Shall Grow", is drawn from the universe of the Australian poet and filmmaker Romaine Moreton, and points toward a transformative movement: from oppression and darkness toward action, community, and the possibility of growth.
In recent years, Anawana Haloba has been in close dialogue with artist and professor Trond Lossius. Lossius’ practice explores the relationship between sound and place through field recordings, audiovisual installations, and collaborative cross-disciplinary projects. Deeply engaged in artistic research, he serves as Professor and Head of PhD at the Faculty of Film, TV and Games at the University of Inland Norway, as well as Professor II at the Grieg Academy, University of Bergen.
Anawana Haloba was born in Livingstone, Zambia, and lives and works in Oslo and Livingstone. Haloba was recently featured in the solo exhibition I Want to Tell You Something at the National Museum in Oslo, participated in the 13th Berlin Biennale (2025), and was recently nominated for the Lorck Schive Art Prize and the Artes Mundi Prize.
Plattform is Bergen Kunsthall's series of lectures and debates. This summer, we present talks and events in connection with the exhibitions of Anawana Haloba and Hanni Kamaly.
The event is supported by The Fritt Ord Foundation.
