What We Do

Väggen försvinner / The Wall Disappears shows how it is possible to grasp and dissolve the wall with art. The wall can also be described as a gap in understanding that exists in the Western culture today, and that keeps us away from a real life. By getting different perspectives on the wall, which Väggen försvinner provides, we can eliminate this gap and reach our abitily of real thinking, and therefore our ability to know and to create what we want.

To the right you can see the most recent posts, but feel free to explore the archive. All posts are relevant today, and until the wall of no understanding is resolved.

We are trained to believe that we cannot do anything about the treadmill of meaninglessness and suffering, except get frustrated, complain, and by different means soothe our anxiety.

Navigate through labels and pages to find music, movies and words that can build insights of the current world and of how we can make a real change.
