NärMare is an artistic experience space for all the senses created for children and young people with disabilities and their families. It is also aimed at adapted schools, especially those students who study subject areas.
The theme is the scrap of the sea and treasures that have inspired sensory installations created from recycled materials in wood, metal and textiles.
NärMare carries a visual story where the participants become co-creators of a narrative without a linear narrative and get to explore the room in its
own pace and based on their circumstances. A place to just be in an artistic experience without demands to perform, understand or deliver.
Through the sensory appeal, the interactive installations, materials and objects can be experienced together on equal terms.

"Thank you for doing this! It's the first time we as a family have come out to something and felt welcomed and able to be ourselves." / Parents who visited the room.
