THE EXHIBITION
Craft & Suffrage – Women’s Vote 100 Years
Hantverk & kvinnokamp – rösträtten 100 år (Craft & Suffrage – Women’s Vote 100 Years) was shown for the first time in the autumn of 2021 at Gallery Monitor, HDK-Valand, Gothenburg. Since then, Christina has graduated and moved back to Linköping, where the exhibition is now shown. Apart from celebrating the 100th anniversary of Women’s Vote in Sweden, the exhibition asks what role craft can play in democratic development processes. A warm welcome on international women’s day!
Clarification: The exhibition uses the term women’s vote as a historic reference and will therefore not discuss queer gender identities. The right to vote also didn’t become fully accomplished until the abolishment of omyndighetsförklaring year 1989.
