The Family and the Slaves
- 25/1–25/5
- The House of Emigrants, Växjö
In Carl Johan De Geer’s exhibition The Family and the Slaves, furniture, fabrics, and images have been combined into seven different installations. They tell the story of confronting his own family’s involvement in slavery during the 17th century. The hands-on work of hammering and building the installations can be seen as a way of processing this unsettling discovery.
Opening on Saturday, January 25, in the presence of the artist.
The exhibition is produced by Norrköping Art Museum.
