Summer school 2025
Are you over 16, disabled and curious about art and architecture? Welcome to the Summer School at ROM!

Funksjonshemmede utgjør landets største minoritet, men er samtidig underrepresentert blant kunstnere og arkitekter. Mange opplever daglig å måtte finne kreative løsninger for å navigere i samfunnet, i rom og på steder. Gjennom sommerskolen ønsker vi å utforske hvordan disse erfaringene kan være en verdifull ressurs i kunst- og arkitekturfeltet.
Perhaps you can contribute to this?
The summer school is a week filled with exploration, creativity and new insights. You'll have the opportunity to develop your own ideas or immerse yourself in a technique, craft or working method. Previous experience with art or architecture is not necessary to participate.
Throughout the week, we will explore themes related to place and time, and get to know the work of disabled artists and architects throughout history. We will also highlight our own experiences and expertise as a disabled person in the face of society.
All participants receive a tailor-made assignment with individual guidance and access to materials for practical testing.
We offer:
A week of professional replenishment, lectures and conversations in an exciting and social environment
The opportunity to work on your own assignment, with guidance along the way from committed professionals and partner organizations
Travel and accommodation expenses will be supported (some co-payment must be included, and we will return to this in the follow-up conversation with all applicants. We emphasize that we want you to apply regardless of your own financial situation)
Practical and physical facilitation based on your needs, regardless of your disability
Catering in the form of food and drink
Contributors: Ihra Lill Scharning (Visual artist and educator), Steinar Brovold Hauge (Visual artist and educator) and Malin Langøy Aarbø (Writer and participant contact).
The program can be expanded with external tutors and speakers along the way.
