Bergen Assembly
Bergen Assembly is a recurring platform for art in Bergen that opens the city to new artistic processes and perspectives.
Every three years, a new edition takes shape, developed over time and on its own terms by invited convenors. Through collaboration with artists and local partners, we create encounters between art and the public that engage with issues shaping our present.
We are now working toward 2028
