Circolo Scandinavio - Roma
duo Artist in Residency Spring 2026
A two month long residency with Stein Henningsen. Two as Territory, is an exploration of co-existence; an invitation to inhabit the world as interdependent beings whose lives unfold within shared and vulnerable spaces. It is a proposal to reconsider territory as something we shape together—and something that, in turn, shapes us. The residency is supported by BKH.

Nordnorsken 2026 - 80 Years
North Norwegian Art Centre 20.03. - 24.05.26
I am happy to announce that I have been selected to participate in the 80th North Norwegian Art Exhibition (Nordnorsken 2026). From 287 applicants and 618 works, I am one of twenty-five artists to join this year’s juried touring exhibition represented by 34 works. I will be presenting two works;
a sculptural installation Beginning after the end and a photograph Arctic Presence.
In these works, I continue to explore the sedimentation of time and presence.
The exhibition opens March 20 at The North Norwegian Art Centre in Svolvær, running until May 24, before beginning its tour through Senja Art Society, Kunsthall Terminal B, Kirkenes, Rana Art Society, Alta Art Society and concluding at Bodø Art Society.
LABVERDE
Invited to participate in the upcoming Labsonora Residency
April 2026
I have been invited to take part in the upcoming Labsonora / Labverde Residency, - an immersive and collaborative program dedicated to musical composition and sound production through deep listening, environmental research, and engagement with oral and ancestral cultures.
Taking place in the Amazon in April 2026, Labsonora brings together musicians, curators, ecologists, anthropologists, activists, and more-than-human entities to compose collectively—developing a new soundscape rooted in bioacoustics, field recording, and the living presence of the forest.
The residency’s core focus is to explore how sound and music can contribute to environmental justice, weaving together sustainability, socio-biodiversity, innovation, and climate awareness. Within the expanded territory of the forest, diverse voices will resonate—engaging the body, opening intersections, and cultivating care for life through practices of sound and listening.
V ARCTIC FORUM
THE CLIMATE HOUSE 15.03.2026 / Screening 14:30-16:30
Natural History Museum, Oslo
Ina Otzko & Stein Henningsen will be presenting EYE IN THE SKY—
a different documentary, a poetic, political reflection on a shifting geopolitical landscape. The film unfolds across sound and vision to ask urgent questions: What happens when industrial presence ends — and digital presence takes over? What remains of sovereignty when decisions are made elsewhere, and enforced from above? And what kind of peace are we building in a world of constant surveillance? As Norway’s last coal mine on Svalbard shut down in June 2025, the film captures this moment of transition — from resource extraction to signal extraction.
“Svalbard is no longer a periphery, it’s a strategic center", the artists say. Power today is exercised not through flags and armies, but through infrastructure, observation, and access.
EYE IN THE SKY invites viewers to look again — not just at Svalbard, but at the global systems of mapping, monitoring, and governance that shape our shared future.

Review in Hakapik
Hvordan vil du beskrive din kunst og ditt kunstnerskap?
Mitt kunstnerskap er forankret i en lyttende, utforskende og tidssensitiv praksis, som krever bevissthet om hva tiden krever av oss. Verkene mine kan være poetiske, fungere som refleksjon, kritikk eller motstand, og inviterer til dialog og kontemplasjon.
