Room 1 Lysekil is a city shaped by its industrial history. In this room, you hear echoes from one of the city's many canning factories. The voices tell the story of the significance of herring for life in the city.Cultural heritage influences how we experience societal changes. Some residents of Lysekil have strong ties to the city's industrial history and use them to navigate the present. Others grapple with the imprints of history in city life and dream of new futures for Lysekil.To look forward, we must reconcile with our history. Whose hopes will shape Lysekil's future cultural heritage? Room 2 In this room, you engage with artistically informed research on Sweden's fossil-free transition. The exhibition has taken shape in collaboration with people living and working in three Swedish industrial towns – Lysekil, Luleå, and Slite. In the exhibition space, you hear sounds from the towns' industries and natural environments. The sounds illustrate how industries have become part of the ecology of these places.For some, envisioning the future is like navigating through fog. Unclear prospects for the future evoke feelings of uncertainty, anxiety, and confusion. But fog can also help sharpen our senses and chart new directions. In the midst of uncertainty, new opportunities arise.Industrial towns are not homogeneous places. They encompass a diversity of experiences and stories. The exhibition reflects this diversity and tells how it feels to live in a time of transition.Artistically informed research aims to engage people's emotions, senses, knowledge, and imaginations. It is a research tradition that can open up new ways to approach Sweden's fossil-free transition. Not everyone has the same opportunities to participate in the decisions that shape our collective future. Therefore, we need to be receptive and actively listen for more voices and stories.
