Trondheim (NO), various museums and event venues, 04.04.–14.09.2025
[Individual exhibitions as part of the Triennale have different opening dates, see website].
The Hannah Ryggen Triennale (HRT) is an exhibition cycle held in diverse venues in and around Trondheim, Norway, every third year. The triennial’s aim is to honour the weaver Hannah Ryggen (1894–1970), who created her works in rural Ørlandet and in Trondheim. In her own lifetime Ryggen gained international recognition for her political art, and her tapestries are still exhibited throughout the world. Each edition of HRT presents a selection of her works as well as contemporary crafts and visual arts that bear a relation to certain aspects of her artistic practice. In this way, HRT brings part of the international art scene to the place where Ryggen’s works were created and into dialogue with them.
We are pleased to be able to include the catalogue in our programme for the first time this year. It offers different approaches to the exhibited artworks and Hannah Ryggen’s work through various texts, while numerous illustrations give an impression of the selected artistic productions.
