aghili/karlsson (Nasim Aghili and Björn Karlsson) is an artist duo working in the field of performing and fine arts. aghili/karlsson’s performances, theatre installations, art in the public space and collaborative works often deal with the experience of existing and living in different forms of exile and how power reproduces ungrievability. Their works often take form of healing rituals and the collaborative making of grievability. The last few years they have been involved in international projects that explore radical gardening, civil disobedience and the aesthetics of sisterhood – mainly with artists, activists and collectives whose work involves various forms of decolonising practices. aghili/karlsson are based in Stockholm and the rural area outside of Södertälje where they also have their garden and studio.
Tea ritual is a part of the duo aghili/karlsson’s work around collective healing, civil disobedience and witchcraft. Before the pandemic they were two of the grant holders at Iaspis in Stockholm and in their studio garden they grew herbs for tea. Every thursday at 1 pm they opened the doors to their studio and invited everyone to a ritual/meeting/moment of care and togetherness.

Finding sisterhood / Online Space


Finding Sisterhood* is a decolonising and queer mapping of contemporary dance and performance. This mapping departs from a need to mobilise a movement and name aesthetic movements that are vibrating and vital to contemporary dance and performance while at the same time being marginalised in its history and archives. Finding Sisterhood is one of many sisterly acts where space and platforms are shaped to present and create collective languages for artists who instead of discussing whiteness, cis and hetero norms are in conversation with their own communities.

*In this project, we use the term sisterhood to describe a non-hierarchical act of solidarity. All our siblings are welcome!
