Welcome Home to… is a digital lecture series presented by The Vessel, exploring some of Norway’s most iconic historical homes. The series is connected to the tenth issue of The Vessel, titled HOME, edited by Charlotte Jul and Ida Nissen. Hosted on Microsoft Teams, each episode of Welcome Home to… takes you inside a different artist’s home, guided by the historians, artists, and curators who care for them.
