During autumn 2013 I was commissioned to lecture and do workshops by Swedish national foundation for art, Konstfrämjandet. I was signed to work with sixth graders at Storkskolan in Blentarp near Sjöbo outside Malmö.
Usually I have been lecturing about; democracy, freedom of speech and freedom of religious views, womans rights, anti organized crime, anti violence etc. Even for this longer project I used the same topics and also as I knew that many inhabitants of the city of Sjöbo during the World War II were supporters of the Nazi regime in Germany a lot of the focus on the lectures were in racism and nazism.
After 4 lectures and 3 workshops and a lot of work the children's work of posters and printed T-shirts were displayed at Gallery St: Gertrud in Malmö in January 2014 with an grand opening with lemonade, crisps and candy.
