On Thursday, July 16, starting at 7:00 PM, Lamour Records invites you to the festival’s opening night at the sauna by the river.

The opening night is free and open to everyone; no ticket is required. The sauna will be hot, the river refreshingly cold, and music from Lamour artists will fill the summer evening. Bring a picnic, take a dip, listen to the music, and join us as we kick off the festival weekend together.

OOOHHHMMM [Ω] measures resistance - the point at which matter opposes current, and force meets its limit. Ω - or resistance - circulates through materials and systems, bodies and movements, and collective action, charging through individuals and structures.

Ω resonates with the events of Ådalen in 1931, during which the boundary between state power and civilian resistance surfaced under extreme tension. This historical moment is treated as a charge that persists still today - an echo connecting past struggles with a present marked by growing authoritarian pressure and contested freedoms.

Moving between order and breakdown, borders and thresholds, the festival programme explores resistance as something relational: produced in encounters between bodies, technologies, social and ecological systems. Resistance here is neither fixed or singular, but constantly negotiated. The exhibition’s central theme is community; how solidarity is formed through opposition, and how collective resistance can generate new futures. Ω asks what it means to resist today, and how resistance can be activated, sustained, and shared.

Ω positions resistance not only as friction or obstruction, but as a generative force - one that redirects energy, shapes movement, creates connection, and opens space for imagining alternative systems still to come.
