All the islands in the ocean
Allt the heavens in the motion
Let me show you the world in my eyes
– Depeche Mode (1990)
Launched in 2023, World in My Eyes is a series of artist talks in Stockholm presented through a collaboration between Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design, Moderna Museet, and the Royal Institute of Art, and hosted in 2023-2024 by Mötesplats Mariatorget. Its title drawn from the eponymous 1990s electronic music hit by English band Depeche Mode, the series aims to present artistic perspectives from a wide range of media that are changing the relationship between material processes and socio-political imagination.
In its inaugural season, World in My Eyes: An Artist Lecture Series presents Emeka Ogboh, Yazan Khalili, Nairy Baghramian, and in 2024 Pope.L. Each artist contributes to both the discursive and formal hybridity of contemporary art at a moment of acute geopolitical volatility and increasing polarization.
