My name is Karin Erixon, an artist and curator with an MA in Visual Arts from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts, Khio. Over the years, I have conducted several independent workshops and reading groups that have tackled issues related to identity and gender equality. At the University of Oslo, I have studied gender theory and am especially interested in sociopolitical issues. Throughout the years, I have organized exhibitions, meeting places, and social spaces in various ways. In 2010, I initiated my first gallery, Semikolon, in Oslo together with artists Marie Robb and Siri Leira. In the years following, I established several studio collectives, arranged reading circles, dinners, workshops, and exhibitions. In 2016, together with Cassius Fadlabi, I founded the Khartoum Contemporary Art Center, an artist-run cultural center in Oslo with a clear interdisciplinary program focused on Africa and the Middle East (2016-2022).

I have been active in Oslo since 2008 and moved back to my hometown, Luleå, in 2022. In Norrbotten, I have worked as the project manager in the association KUBN, conducting cultural education projects for children and youth, as well as being a project leader in the research project KuR, which works to implement culture in healthcare. From 2024, I work as the artistic director at Luleå Konsthall.
