As a part of the ongoing exhibtion Behind the Same Facades the artist Kristin Ylikiiskilä Broberg invites the public to take part in a series of lectures in the two public saunas at Simhallsbadet. The work starts from an exploration of the public dressing room, shower and sauna. Through a series of open lectures in these spaces the boundaries between private and public are explored and analyzed. In these spaces, bodies, memories and expectations share room with each other, as well as with the presence of the history of the pubblic sauna and the ideologies it carries with it.
