New Professor Presentations: Irena Haiduk and Oscar Lara

Please join The Academy of Fine Art in welcoming our three new professors taking up their positions this year: Irena Haiduk and Oscar Lara. Each artist will present their work, followed by a joint Q&A and conversation.

The event is open to all. Light refreshments will be served. This event is hosted by the Academy of Fine Art´s public program. 


Irena Haiduk
Irena Haiduk directs Yugoexport—a blind and non-aligned oral corporation powering production of books, apparel, orations, variable spaces, and films. Haiduk's first feature film, Nula, is coming out in 2028.

Oscar Lara
Oscar Lara, born in 1977 in Lima, Peru, is a contemporary visual artist currently based between Stockholm and Lima. His work focuses on social practices that explore decolonial strategies and the re-contextualization of ethnographic materials. Lara is particularly known for his engagement with the cultural politics of power and representation, often using his art to challenge and critique colonial histories.

Lara’s practice spans various media, including textiles, archival material, video, and performance, and his exhibitions have been held at venues such as the Central Museum of Textiles in Lodz, Museo de Arte de Lima (MALI), Tensta Konsthall in Stockholm and the Museum of World Culture in Gothenburg. His PhD for the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm, researched the boundaries on the intersection of art, politics, and history. His projects engage deeply with themes of cultural heritage, repatriation, and the broader implications of colonialism in contemporary art contexts.

This is the first event of the academic year of a series of presentations in which the faculty, including PhDs and teaching staff, introduces itself to the larger student body at the Academy of Fine Art, KHiO, and the broader art field in Oslo.

*Anton Kats was also supposed to present at this event, but unfortunately he had to cancel, but will present at a later event.
