BLOCK PARTY

✨SAVE THE DATE!✨

One block, one big celebration!

On 29 August, we're turning Trondheim's culture quarter into one big BLOCK PARTY!

Together with the creative minds of Trondheim's cultural quarter @sellanraabar, Trondheim folk library & @litteraturhuset we're filling the day with art, music, talks, film screenings, workshops, food, DJs and so much more.

BLOCK PARTY is free and open to everyone!

BLOCK PARTY takes its inspiration from Haitian-American artist Jelsen Lee Innocent's exhibition The World, The Flesh and The Devil, on view at Kunsthall Trondheim, with the artist's communities as its guiding spirit.

Drawing on New York cookouts and the neighborhood celebrations and festivals of Haiti, BLOCK PARTY aims to do what those traditions have always done: gather people, welcome everyone in, and turn the street into a stage of shared joy. Haiti beats at the heart of BLOCK PARTY, just as it does in Innocent's exhibition. On August 29 that heartbeat spills into the streets on its own terms: proud, creative and impossible to ignore.
