Editor's Notes
- Genusforskarförbundets årsmöte - 9:e juni 2014
- Little Sweden is an art and research project. The aim is to explore identity and power relations. What Does it mean to become a man or a woman? An exploration of identity, power and gender. The responsibility for researching, designing and producing the artwork is mine. The first pictures was published in the end of 2009.
