Past - Stavanger 2025
The theme Past is about reflecting on the past, to better understad the present. What came first: the city or the cathedral? What role did the past play in shaping who we are today?
The theme Past represent our history and cultural heritage, as reflected in stories, physical objects, buildings, and urban spaces. The theme will also challenge assumptions about Stavanger's identity and history that we often take for granted.
The theme will focus on the cathedral and the city that developed around it.
The icon, which symbolises Past, takes its form from the entrance door to the cathedral, as a gateway to 900 years of history.
