Terapirommet is a performance collective that offered group therapy for eco-grief. The performance took place on a sailboat at Lågøya and is inspired by the work of researcher Elisabeth Kübler-Ross (1926–2004) on the stages of dying and grief. Inside the boat, the audience encountered four marine creatures, each connected in its own way to the decline of the Oslofjord, who guided the audience through various rituals to process grief.

Terapirommet is an interdisciplinary collective of artists, educators, and marine biologists. Artist Camilla Dahl holds a BA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths College, London, as well as an MA in Art in Society and Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PPU) from OsloMet. Dahl is a member of the artist organization First Supper Symposium (FSS), Oslo (alongside Lisa Pacini and Gidsken Braadlie), and has extensive experience with artistic project work. She serves on the board and curatorial team of the Oslofjord Triennial.
