The 2023 exhibition at Barents Spektakel activates the Old Fire Station in Kirkenes as a temporary artistic venue. The contributions within the exhibition are gathered together in different rooms in the space, each in their own way exploring various kinds of relationships, and the actions that create, disrupt, maintain, or destroy these relations.
