As the last workshop of the Scramble for Survival Summer School, Danger Museum and Institutt for Farge welcome you to the unveiling of the students’ graduation portrait of 2006 - and their reunion portrait of 2026.

The photographs have been devised by the Japanese/Norwegian artist group Danger Museum, who also invited course tutor Ane Hjort Guttu to take part in the workshop. Including Danger Museum’s two members, these images present three generations of artists.
The project responds to the overall aim of the Summer School: to take matters in your own hands and direct your own role as an artist. The group portrait is used as a framework to stop and think about how we perceive ourselves now, and in the future. In one photograph the students apear as they graduate from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts (KHiO) in 2006, in another, as they might look reuniting twenty years later.
In the process of developing their future characters and costumes, the workshop participants have discussed expectations, desires, anxieties, ambitions and role models, as well as exchanging pictures of figures from within and outside the art world.
The resulting graduation and reunion portraits will be presented along with the props and costumes, and other materials from the workshop.
