New exhibition in 2025

On 16 May a new exhibition will open, and run until September 2026: Me, You & We - Exploring Human Behaviour.

"Growing polarisation, a planet in crisis and changing societies - how did we get here? And how do we move forward? Human Behaviour Me, You, We - Exploring Human Behaviour explores what shapes our actions - from biology to culture and social structures. Through art, science and in-depth perspectives, we shed light on the most human of things: our behaviours, our choices - and our ability to change." More information about the exhibition (in Swedish).

In its first year, The Cell's theme was existence, with an exhibition by Helen Pynor.
