'Letters from the Past' (Brev från Morfar)

"I don't think it should matter if you are family or not, if you like someone you like someone"

​

'Letters from the Past' is an ongoing multimedia project consisting of a film, an installation and an educational program.

​

Through the project I hope to open doors for a wider and more nuanced discussion on sexual harassment, by not only pointing at the abuser, but also looking at how we relate to the complexity of the situation. The broader context addresses questions about how our identity is formed through family history and how trauma can be passed down through generations.

 

'Letters from the Past’ has received support from Swedish Cultural Foundation and Arts Promotion Centre (Taike) in Finland. The portraits were developed during an artist-in-residency at Platform in Vasa in February-March 2018. The project also contains an educational program set up by the help of Youth Station Klaara.
