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.
