In-Situ/City: Oslo is presented by Curating Lab, formed by David Cariano Timme, Sally Riahi, Shaon Bedannita Mukherjee, Faduma Mohamud, Luis Félix, Kristine Utne Stiberg and Lisa Teige. The Curating Lab participants share an interest in different types of sound and music, inclusivity and wide representation of voices in culture.They have taken part in a year-long course for young curator aspirants organised by Ultima in partnership with the European network Sounds Now.
