Storytelling tour with Jan Mark

at

Join a storytelling tour of Lenke Rothman’s exhibition at Malmö Konsthall. Dramaturge and author Jan Mark, together with Malmö Konsthall’s guide Nilas Hultman, will present Lenke Rothman’s works and share personal reflections. Jan Mark’s story will focus on Lenke Rothman’s work Rain.

Storytelling tours are a concept that Malmö Konsthall began in 2019. These tours are led by people who have a personal connection to the themes of the exhibition. Through personal stories, the tours often broaden the focus beyond purely artistic perspectives.
