Embrace differences...

as Swedish Americans we know all about this. Embrace!, a major art exhibition with works by over 30 contemporary Swedish-born artists who live in the U.S. opens in Sweden today.  

  • Pia Sjölin, co-curator "on loan" from Farmington, Conn., checks the hanging of wall boards on the outside of the museum in Växjö, Sweden. (On the day before the opening Sept. 13)
  • Embrace! At Utvandrarnas Hus and Kulturparken, Växjö - The theme for Embrace! is the American dream and the Swedish identity.

  • Photo from renowned New York based photographer Kristofer Dan-Bergman’s project ‘Space’ which in essence captures the many facets of finding your space, being alive, being alone, making it in a new world, adapting, adopting, or... not.
  • The exhibition opens on September 14, 2011 in Utvandrarnas Hus (the House of Emigrants) in Växjö, Sweden, and will run through the end of January 2012.
