About

Björkö Konstnod (BKN) is an artist-run, non-profit organization located in Björkö, Sweden, offering residencies predominantly to visual, performance, and sound-based artists. Founded in 2020, BKN provides a unique environment for artists to focus on their practice in a peaceful rural milieu where the forest meets the sea.
