Härden envisions a platform for celebrations and traditions centered around the open fire, a universal symbol of connection, bridging Sweden's diverse cultures and traditions, from Valborg bonfires to Persian New Year.

It serves as a gathering point where ancient traditions can continue, be shared, and inspire one another, shaping a collective identity, a new folklore.

Härden is a central axis for cultures to revolve and evolve around. A hearth for the city.
