Tensta konsthall

Tensta konsthall is a space for contemporary art in the Tensta neighbourhood of Stockholm, Sweden. Our ambition is to participate in an ongoing international dialogue about what contemporary art is and can be, as well as mediate exhibitions and activities in a meaningful and relevant way both for the art public, schools, higher educational programs and for the people living in the neighbourhoods of Tensta and Jarva outside Stockholm. Tensta konsthall was founded in 1998 as a grass-root initiative. Throughout the years, the art center has made itself a name as a space devoted to an international outreach taking place in dialogue with programs and activities with local resonance.

Since 2019, the director is Cecilia Widenheim. Previous directors are Maria Lind, the trio Rodrigo Mallea Lira, Ylva Ogland and Jelena Rundqv...
