Activities A, start from 13:00
A1 Uppsala art museum, Corpus Cosmos (English)
UPPSALA KONSTMUSEUM
Guided tour in English 13:15–14:15
The exhibition Corpus Cosmos brings together science, art and philosophy – it deals with bodily experiences at the interface between faith and knowledge. The Latin corpus refers to the body in medicine, and the Greek kosmos to the idea of an organised universe. The exhibition features sculptures, tactile installations, paintings and sound works.
Cosmus corpus is inspired by the anatomical theatre at the Gustavianum, created in the 1660s, which was used to perform dissections in front of an audience. The Renaissance vernacular body, open to the world and nature, is in stark contrast to the modern, closed body. It can be difficult to feel at home in the contemporary body, which is constantly being reshaped into external perfection. Despite cutting-edge medical research and an ever-increasing range of treatment options, mental illness has never been more prevalent in society.
A2 Experience the artistry of Bror Hjorth (Swedish)
BROR HJORTS HUS Address: Norbyvägen 26 (15 minutes walk)
13:15–14:15
Bror Hjorths Hus is a studio museum in Uppsala, in the artist’s former home. Bror Hjorth (1894-1968) is regarded as one of the great modernists in Swedish art. He was both a sculptor and a painter and became a professor in drawing. His art is a tribute to love, music and life. His sculptures caused a stir when they were shown in Stockholm in the 1930s, when they were accused of being immoral. There is also a temporary exhibition with Jan Lööf, an iconic illustrator, author, and comic creator.
A3: Bystander training … Don’t just stand there, training workshop (English)
UPPSALA KONSTMUSEUM, konferensrum level 2, (13:00–15:00, including fika)
Many will recognize the uncomfortable feeling that arises when we notice inappropriate behavior, but don’t know what to do about it. In this workshop, we practice being an active bystander, learning how we can intervene in a safe and effective way. We are all responsible for preventing harassment and inequality in our workplace. With: Johanna Bergman Lodin, and Alejandra Figueredo.
If ou have already signed up for this workshop in a separate registration form, please, do it again here.
A4: Drawing landscapes (English)
OUTDOORS 13:00–14:30. With Tomas Eriksson.
An outdoor activity where you bring pencil and paper, get some tips about motif selection, line-shadow drawing, depth, perspective, etc, and then draw for a while. The focus of the exercise is to see, experience and draw something characteristic in the landscape. Drawing takes some time and it requires concentration and presence. We discuss what we have done and talk about why drawing and sketching may bring other perspectives than, say, photography.
Instructions: Let's keep it black and white, and simple.
- Bring 1-2 pencils of different hardness e.g H/HB and 3B/4B, as well as a pencil sharpener. Or something else of your preference.
- Bring a drawing pad or sketchbook in format A5-A4 (perhaps A3 or square format). The hard cover provides support when drawing.
- Don´t forget something to sit on, a seat pad of some kind. It´s cold on the ground.
If it´s raining we can draw each other indoors somewhere.
(Wednesday May 21 after work there will be another drawing landscape workshop. We take our bikes and cycle from Ultuna along Fyrisån towards the city center.)
A5 Curious about bibliotherapy? (Swedish)
VASASALEN 13:00–14:30 With Håkan Mattsson.
Bibliotherapy is a collective name for interventions where texts and other expressive expressions such as writing and images are used as a starting point for exploring one's own thoughts, feelings, memories and future dreams. The method is used preventively, therapeutically and rehabilitatively in various professions where the work is adapted to the purpose, the context and the training and competence of the bibliotherapy leader.
During the workshop, a brief introduction is given to what bibliotherapy is, the history of bibliotherapy and how bibliotherapy is used in Sweden today. The workshop includes a test of the method, by the workshop leader reading short texts and which we discuss.
Håkan Mattsson is a behavioural scientist and works at a psychotherapy clinic with talks and as a course leader.

B4 Rarities in the Gustavianum (Engelska)
15:15–16:15 in Gustavianum.
The Gustavianum is Uppsala University's oldest preserved building. Founded in 1477, it houses Celsius' own thermometer and artefacts that tell the story of Rudbeck and Linnaeus, who also worked here. One of the more special artefacts here is the Augsburg Cabinet of Art, given to King Gustav II Adolf by the Councillors of Augsburg in 1632. It is an imaginatively decorated art cabinet with visible drawers, secret compartments and thousands of artefacts from all over the world that served as a contemporary internet. At the top of the building is the anatomical theatre, built in the 1660s for public dissections.
B5 I would like to, but I don't have enough time! (English)
Make your research accessible – in minimal amount of time
VASASALEN 15:00–16:30. With Clara Jonsson, Anni Hoffrén
Do you want to develop your ability to communicate your research? Join us for a workshop in popular science writing – something you might want to do but rarely have time for. You get to practice formulating your research based on established popular science principles. Then, you will boil your text down to a clear and concise pitch that captures the essence of your research and finds the angles that spark interest in others. At the end of the workshop, a twist will put your text to the test. The workshop provides space for reflection and discussion – we give feedback and help each other to develop. After the workshop, you will have useful material that could be used when talking about your research, whether it is about project pages on SLU's new website, presentations, or posts on social media.
