Curatorial Text:
What is the nature of your own family’s history? Surely, it is a history of security and love, pain and reconciliation, drama and peace? All the things that have shaped you and the life you lead.
In the spring of 2026, an exhibition about the family ‘Family – For Better or Worse’ is set to open at Sven-Harrys Konstmuseum. This exhibition offers an account of how our identities and personal histories are shaped by our families.
Paintings, photographs, sculptures, and contemporary expressions all present depictions of the relationships that made us who we are. Together, works by classic pioneers and contemporary greats portray the family that each of us belongs to.
