What does the Swedish identity look like today? Rather than speak of nationality as origin (natus, born) we need to regard nationality as all the experiences that can be harboured within the borders of a country. The Swedish Hearts exhibition explores the Swedish art scene, focusing on how the story of Swedish identity has been rewritten over the past five years. Swedish Hearts presents 26 artists with different backgrounds and different experiences of what it means to be Swedish. Participating artists: Anders A, Dejan Antonijevic, Catti Brandelius, Carlos Capelan, Loulou Cherinet, Kajsa Dahlberg, Anna Maria Ekstrand, Ibrahim Elkarim, Esra Ersen, Carl Johan Erikson, FA+, Juan Pedro Fabra Guemberena, Annika von Hausswolff, Dimitrios Kiriazidis, Jannicke Laker, Valeria Montti-Colque, Torgny Nilsson, Mattias Olofsson, Tsuyoshi Ozawa, Katya Sander, Fia Sandlund, Anna Sjodahl, Stig Sjolund, Snezana Vucetic Bohm, Chun Lee Wang Gurt, Mans Wrange Exhibition curators: Charlotte Bydler, Rodrigo Mallea Lira and Magdalena Malm Catalogue: Preface by Lars Nittve.
