The second part of this programme is taking place on Saturday 27th at Beau Travail Gallery in Stockholm. This time focus is on the extremes that can be perceived as tangible and the meta levels in some cases palpable. Andrew Hibbert & Lola Möller’s Bagman about a sluggishly reflective mass murderer, Salad Hilowle’s Svart television that shows treatment of Swedish stereotypes and the representation of Afro-Swedes in the media, Svitjod 2000+ by Mårten Nilsson & David Flamholc, a punky road movie through rural Sweden, and Felice Hapetzeder’s Stockholm 1970 tells the story of a shattered illusion and a critique of the self-sufficiency of Swedish culture. Nathalie Åhbeck and Martin Grennberger are the programme’s curators.
