Opening Party: Harder Better Faster Stronger – Are Men OK?
Step straight into the biggest opening party of the year and experience Fotografiska like you’ve never seen it before.
On Friday, October 2, Fotografiska transforms into a pulsating, immersive experience as we kick off and celebrate the opening of this autumn's major group exhibition, Harder Better Faster Stronger – Are Men OK?.
The exhibition explores contemporary male roles, expectations, and vulnerability. During the opening party, the art expands throughout the entire building. It will be an action-packed evening featuring live concerts, club sets, captivating performances, dance battles, and culinary experiences running simultaneously across three floors.

about the exhibition
What does it mean to be a man today? Is masculinity something we are born with, something we learn, or something that we are expected to achieve? Masculinity is currently being debated everywhere, from popular culture and social media to dinner tables and the halls of power. On October 3, Harder Better Faster Stronger – Are Men OK? opens at Fotografiska Stockholm, a major group exhibition in which 30 artists from around the world explore one of the most widely debated questions of identity of our time.
