MÅNADENS KONSTNÄR (augusti 2018)
Jag söker ledtrådar och metoder i mina konstnärliga processer och skriver i Tidningen Kulturen om svårigheten med att gräva när en springer. Hur tusan får en ihop tillvaron som konstnär, kvinna och ensamstående heltidsförälder?

TIVOLI KULTURSKOLA (juni 2018)
Jag utformar en kurs inom Foley för nystartade Tivoli Kulturskola som drar igång sin verksamhet i Nacka kommun till hösten.

"Berätta med Ljud"

- Blunda. Vad hör du?
På avstånd: trafik/ skrattande barn/ en mås som skriande flyger förbi?
Närmare: vatten som spolar i en sink/ metallskrammel/ fotsteg som närmar sig?
Nära: knattrande datortangenter/ ett raspande ljud när fingrar kliar i ditt hår/ andetag?
Inuti: blod som pulserar i öronen/ en envis melodi som bosatt sig i bakre delen av skallen?
 
Varje plats, händelse och känsla bär på lager av ljud, ljudbilder. Genom att sätta samman olika ljud kan en också framkalla och manipulera närvaron av platser, händelser och känslor.
Denna kurs passar dig som är nyfiken och gillar ljud och/eller att berätta historier. Kursen är både till för nybörjare och för de som har hållit på med ljud, inspelning och redigering eller berättande tidigare. 
Under kursen kommer vi att lyssna på olika ljud och miljöer, egna och andras erfarenheter och berättelser. Vi arbetar med olika teman och övningar som är till för att sätta igång fantasin och forma nya idéer. Du kommer att få undersöka, spela in och skapa ljudberättelser kopplade till platser och händelser i ditt liv. Samtidigt går vi igenom olika tekniker och tips för att du ska kunna forma dina ljudberättelser så som du vill ha dem. I slutet av kursen sammanställs allas ljudberättelser till en gemensam Audio Walk, en ljudpromenad.

NACKA KONST (november 2016)
Konstsekreterare Nanna Leth på Nacka kommun, kontaktar mig. Hon och Nacka Konst önskar öka allmänhetens intresse, delaktighet och användande av konsten som kommunen producerar, äger och visar. Jag föreslår en initial åtgärd bestående av att göra material och information om konsten tillgängliga på webben.

Konsten inventeras, jag drar igång mitt researcharbet och kontaktar konstnärer. Jag redigerar, skriver texter och tar fram bildmaterial. Parallellt lär jag mig hur kommunen arbetar och hur EpiServer funkar. Sen börjar jag bygga upp en struktur för NACKA KONST på www.nacka.se

Berättelser i en väska (Mars 2015 - november 2016)
Jag arbetar som turnésamordnare för konstprojektet "Berättelser i en väska".

"Imago Mundi is the collection of works commissioned and collected by Luciano Benetton on his travels around the world, involving, on a voluntary and non-profit basis, established and emerging artists from many different countries. Each of them has created a work whose only restriction is its 10x12 cm format, contributing to the creation of a remarkable artistic geography.

LIVING ARCHIVE STOCKHOL EDITION: DADA POLIS (October 30 – November 2, 2014)
ccap / c.off, Körsbärsvägen 9, Stockholm

WITH artists and participants from the post-Yugoslav space and Sweden: Cristina Caprioli / ccap, Louise Blad, Andreja Dugandžić, Emma-Lina Ericson, Jusuf Hadžifejzović, Nela Hasanbegović, Elin Magnusson, Svetlana Maraš, MYCKET (Mariana Alves, Katarina Bonnevier & Thérèse Kristiansson), Ofelia Jarl Ortega, Marija Ratković, Hanna Wildow, and Red Min(e)d.
CURATED BY: Red Min(e)d

The four-day Living Archive StockHolm Edition: Dada Polis allows an archive to actually “live” and generate as everyone’s event. It offers a common social imagination of space and time through a collectively co-articulated and mis-interpreted site. This time; Living Archive focuses on Dada Polis Manifesto. As an Off-station and based on the feminist re-articulation of avant-garde, the Dada Polis Manifesto is inviting artists, participants and the public (not) to take part in co-creating a fine-tuning manifest – by every-one and for any-one.
Living Archive is an ongoing curatorial and art project by Red Min(e)d. It has started in 2011 with edition in Zagreb, followed up by different scale editions in Ljubljana, Sarajevo, Vienna and Belgrade. Using the representation and/or public space for living, (non)working and co-creating Red Min(e)d raises the question “who can enter, produce and claim history, present and future and under what conditions?” Living Archive is about feminism, about making friendships, dancing and laughing, or just being apart or together on the border where art meets life and life makes sense.

SURVIVAL KIT FESTIVAL (september 20 - october 19, 2014)
I participate in Survival Kit Festival in Umeå with the piece I Still Have an Other-Ache.

SURVIVAL KIT UMEÅ is an international contemporary art festival exploring the theme of local and global survival. The month-long festival is filled with visual art, music, food and film as well as discussions, seminars and lectures by invited artists and activists. The festival runs in collaboration with Survival Kit 6 in Riga. This year, when the two cities are European Culture Capitals, there will be two parallel Survival Kit Festivals, first in Riga followed by Umeå.

The festival has it's central hub around Verkligheten Gallery on Pilgatan 16 and nearby, at Kungsgatan 92 as well as in the Trailer Gallery and Vita Kuben at the Norrlands Opera. It also utilizes less conventional art spaces, filling the older parts of the hospital and infiltrating town parks and leftover spaces in the city. As a finale, the festival takes the ferry to Finland under the artistic supervision of Maskinen Gallery, connecting the Survival Kit Festival with the Bothnia Biennal in Finland.

Around 30 artworks made by international and local artists all have their starting point in the theme of survival. There is a great variety in techniques, aesthetics and conceptual ideas and the artworks range from installation and sculpture to video and performance. Some artworks are site-specific and built on location, others are finished works installed on-site in Umeå. Many of the artists will also be present in person during the festival!

"Genom musikalisk organisering och polyfon berättarteknik målar konstnären Emma-Lina Ericson fram suggestiva porträtt. Andras berättelser och egna erfarenheter spjälkas upp i taktfasta fakta, melodiösa vittnesmål och klangfyllda frågor. Emma-Lina gör musik. Hon arbetar med ljud, bild och objekt sammanvävda i interaktiva installationer. Objekten och de röstbaserade symfonierna formar tillsammans i gallerirummet ett tematiskt landskap att gå in i eller bli del av.
