I Hope I’m Loud When I’m Dead — 8.5–23.5
Beatrice Gibson, Centrum för kritiska fritidsstudier, Rat Section, Stuart Mckenzie, Lukas Danys
It is a great pleasure to invite you to the opening of I Hope I’m Loud When I’m Dead! On Friday, May 8, both skēnē and Teater Augusten are activated as we gather around a program exploring the foundations of communal life. Through the lens of the festive, the evening centers the transformative potential of sound as a site for collective resistance and celebration.
The event marks a continuation and expansion of the inquiry into the politics of the party, first initiated with the exhibition Lost Vessel at Hägerstensåsens medborgarhus in 2024. Centered around Beatrice Gibson’s film I Hope I’m Loud When I’m Dead from 2018, the evening is a collaboration with the ambulatory platform and live series Scaling, bridging the gallery space with the rhythmic collectivity of the dance floor. As the night unfolds, we migrate from skēnē to Scaling (Teater Augusten) for a series of live performances and a DJ set.

ANNOUNCEMENT! Tomorrow at 18:40, artists Mattias Eliasson and Angelina Petrović will pull up outside skēnē, initiating a mobile choreography that will navigate our journey to Teater Augusten. A slow-moving cabriolet will operate as a drifting sonic vessel, mapping the distance between the two spaces at the speed of a heartbeat. Come join this collective drift in the evening sun, activating the transit as a continuum for both passage and presence.
Looking forward!
