JIMMY NELSON
HOMMAGE TO HUMANITY AT SLIPERIET
Nestled in the Värmland countryside, Sliperiet is no ordinary gallery—it’s a striking fusion of industrial heritage and contemporary art. Once a wood mill and pulp factory, now a thriving cultural hub, Sliperiet offers visitors a truly immersive art experience.
With its raw architectural charm and deep roots in Swedish history, the space creates a powerful context for Jimmy’s portraits of Indigenous communities. Here, where nature and culture converge, his work takes on new layers of meaning, calling attention to the beauty of tradition, identity, and resilience in a world of change.
THE WORLD ACCORDING TO ROGER BALLEN
VESTFOSSEN KUNSTLABORATORIUM

The World According to Roger Ballen at beautiful Vestfossen, invites the visitors to become part of Roger Ballen's world through his photographs and films.
