A compelling conversation with the Swedish art and architecture collective – MYCKET, a group whose work weaves together performance, architecture, activism and community building.

We explore how their work speaks to some of the key Sustainable Development Goals covered by this year’s International Museum Day theme:

• SDG 8, by supporting local economies through creative employement and education.
• SDG 9, by fostering innovation and embracing new technologies to engage diverse audiences.
• SDG 11, by imagining more inclusive and resilient urban futures where culture and heritage are central.
