Skåneleden Art | In Motion

The project Skåneleden Konst | In Motion is a broad program at the intersection of movement, art and health, started with the public work of art placed in the countryside in the municipalities of Kristianstad, Kävlinge and Ängelholm. In the first phase, a method was developed in dialogue with artists and officials from various administrations about how the municipalities can work with public art outside the cities. The goal was to establish three works of art in connection with the Skåneleden to strengthen places to visit, local identity and public health. Through movement, art experiences and pedagogical activities aimed at the school, the project's ambition is to contribute to counteracting the widespread mental illness among young people. In the spring of 2021, there was launched an open call for artists to design walks that involve young people's participation along the trails in the municipalities.
