Hemmakultur – art, poetry and dance on SVT Play

“The pandemic shut down the arts scene. We need the arts, and we need hope.” That’s the opening line for 20 short programmes – three made with Moderna Museet – that you can watch on SVT Play. Each programme is 1-5 minutes long, highlighting visual arts, poetry and dance. The episodes from Moderna Museet feature works from the collection by the artists Ulla Wiggen, Anna Riwkin, Siri Derkert and Kajsa Dahlberg. In Swedish only.

Based on Virginia Woolf’s essay “A Room of One’s Own”, which lent its name to a room in Moderna Museet’s presentation of its collection, the programme features Kajsa Dahlberg’s work “A Room of One’s Own /A Thousand Libraries, and Siri Derkert’s Painting “The Fogelstad Choir II”.

Maria Morberg, editor, talks about Woolf’s essay and Dahlberg’s work, and Derkert’s artistic practice and her life and times with the Fogelstad Citizens’ School for Women.
