Mellan oss emellan
Mellan oss emellan is an immersive performing arts experience for all the senses – together we explore a universe of materials whose unique properties awaken our hearing, sight, movement, and touch. A space for presence and togetherness, where everyone’s abilities have a natural place.
Mellan oss emellan is Kollaborativet’s latest large-scale sensory performing arts experience, created through a co-creating process with students and teachers at Valdemarsro Adapted Upper Secondary School in Malmö during autumn 2023, under the process name Taktilitetens vokabulär. The experience is tactile, auditory, and visual, allowing for all forms of expression and engagement.
Mellan oss emellan is also filmed from a first-person perspective, which can be used as preparation or simply viewed as it is, wherever you are.

Spiralens mitt / Lilla Spiralen
Spiralens mitt speaks to our senses. A room and a moment where we can explore the body as a language, in communication with different materials and with each other.
We created Spiralens mitt through a co-creating process with pupils and teachers at Mellanhedsskolan adapted primary school in Malmö during autumn 2020.
Lilla Spiralen is a smaller format of Spiralens mitt that can be set up in libraries or classrooms. The experience is well-suited for pupils in the adapted primary school’s training classes.
Spiralens mitt is also filmed from a first-person perspective, which can be used as preparation or simply viewed as it is, wherever you are.
-
Approximately 60 minutes (Spiralens mitt) / 45 minutes (Lilla Spiralen).
-
Wheelchair accessible.
-
Visitors can move freely in the room and leave if needed.
-
The room offers a variety of sensory stimuli and dimmed lighting. While it may feel calm, there is no requirement or expectation to stay still or silent.
-
Contains no spoken language.

En sinnlig upptäcktsresa
A sensory journey through light, shadows, reflections, soft, hard, rough, cold, warm, heavy, and airy in the body’s resonances. Landscapes where the body and the space find their own rhythm to breathe together. Rooms to explore, touch, marvel at, transform within, and resonate with. A close presence in an intensified now.
En sinnlig upptäcktsresa was developed through a co-creating process with children and pedagogs at Korrebäcken Special Preschool in Malmö during autumn 2019. The experience is tactile, visual, and auditory, entirely without words.

EXHIBITIONS
Röra!
To move, to touch, to make movement. Inside and all around.
An exhibition where you can feel, squeeze, hug, glare, listen, make sound, experience, and simply be.
RÖRA! opened at Malmö Konsthall in the summer of 2024 and is a touring exhibition by Kollaborativet, available for booking.
The exhibition is based on documentation in the form of photos, film, and sound from a co-creating artistic process with students and teachers at Valdemarsro Adapted Upper Secondary School in Malmö. The materials are presented in a sensory room with tactile, inviting objects and atmospheric lighting, where visitors can move freely and interact.
With RÖRA!, children and young people with diverse abilities are made visible in their creative processes and are given the opportunity to occupy art galleries, museums, libraries, and other public spaces. At the same time, our intention is to offer children and young people a place where each person’s unique way of interacting with and experiencing the world is welcome and expected.
RÖRA! is aimed both at families with children with diverse abilities and at others in society who have little or no knowledge of, or contact with, this broad group of children and young people. The exhibition also aims to inspire cultural institutions to open up their activities to more people and to increase knowledge, courage, and openness to diversity.
During an exhibition period, both guided visits and performance programs can be scheduled. Seminars focusing on questions of who gets to occupy public spaces can also be arranged. For these events, we may invite some of the researchers we are in dialogue with (Jonna Bornemark, Fanny Ambjörnsson, Ylva Gislén, Liselott Mariett Olsson, and Helena Dahlberg), as well as parents of children with diverse abilities, staff from adapted schools, or artists who work inclusively like we do.
For more information, please contact us!
In connection with RÖRA! at Malmö Konsthall, Kollaborativet held a seminar on August 21, 2024.
The panel included Marie Wetterstrand, visual arts teacher at Valdemarsro Adapted Upper Secondary School; Ylva Brännström, art educator at Malmö Konsthall; and Ellen Spens, performing artist in Kollaborativet. Ylva Gislén moderated the discussion.
The conversation is also available with Swedish sign language interpretation here.
