Where love is

6 june – 24 september 2017

 

Havremagasinet is delighted to present the Norrbottens Folk Art exhibition, the result of our team’s year-long research. Entitled “Where Love Is,” the exhibition beautifully captures the profound emotions we discovered during our journey through Norrbotten. We had the privilege of meeting the artists themselves or their cherished family members, and were deeply moved by the art that graced the walls and shelves of their homes. Each displayed artwork tells a compelling story, meticulously crafted with love and dedication. Many of these creations were intended as heartfelt gifts for loved ones, while also serving as a source of income to sustain the artists’ livelihoods.

More information can be found in the Folder (available only in Swedish).
