Justice Still Not Settled
9–10 December, Hägerstensåsens medborgarhus in Hägersten, Sweden
When is justice settled? Can it ever be? Across two days of talks, conversations, and shared inquiry, we explore justice as an ongoing process of negotiation, repair, and struggle. The gathering brings together people from different fields and practices to reflect on the spaces, relationships, and forms of collective work through which more just futures might be imagined and made.

Urban Justice is a Spatial Practice of Impossible Forms
The event is part of the project Urban Justice is a Spatial Practice of Impossible Forms, co-hosted by Malmö University’s Institute for Urban Research (IUR) and Public Art Agency Sweden.
Within the project, we explore urban justice both conceptually and practically by sharing experiences of creating and sustaining spaces in which people become active, reflective, and capable of transforming the places they inhabit—and, through this, themselves. Drawing on these exchanges, we will develop an anthology reflecting on the connections between space-making, creativity, and justice.
Articulating justice as an impossible form, we ask: What if justice is not a state to be achieved, but a slow, incomplete, and ongoing process sustained through spaces, relations, and shared practices? What if understanding creativity as concrete labour carried out in specific places allows us to pose new questions about power and explore alternative arrangements? And what if processes of world-making change as labour is contested, reorganised, and redistributed?
