Skakke folkedrakter - ikkje ei draktutstilling is a touring exhibition that opens at Hordaland Kunstsenter early April. Developed by the National Museum through dialogue across institutions and professional communities throughout the country, it represents an in-depth exploration of the craftsmanship and history connected to bunad, kofte and folk costumes.

In the exhibition, you'll find works by Rafiki, Christian Blandhoel, Márjá Karlsen, Harald Beharie, Lin Wang and Håvard Kranstad. These six contemporary artists were invited to explore and challenge folk costume customs, identity and craft traditions. In their process, they have examined contradictions and engaged in dialogue with craftspeople and knowledge bearers, creating their own expressions through photography, weaving, beadwork, porcelain, installations, instruments and dance. The result is both a tribute and a rebellion - an exhibition about folk costumes that is far from a folk costume exhibition. Above all, the works we encounter in it are symbols and ideas that shape the time we live in, how we see ourselves, our relationships and our history.
