As the Pecha Kucha 20th Aniversary in Gothenburg coincided with the Swedish National Holliday on June 6th, I created a new suggestion for the profiling of modern Swedens multicultural society. As Swedes in general avoid waving or presenting our flag even on this day, fearing being seen as a nationalist or simply not caring, I wanted to provoke thoughts about how strong of a symbol a flag can be and what it actually means to belong to a nationality. The importance of this action is the context of our own national holiday, while creating all other countries flags but with the exact yellow and blue colours that Sweden flag has, and at the same time not presenting our own. I created hand-held fabric flags for the visitors to wave around, as well as strung up flags decorating the ceilings.

Thanks to everyone who came to our graduation exhibition in May, and all participants at the inspirational workshops! I very much enjoyed seing people interact and play around with my Time Machine. Also happy to announce that my graduation work got me a scholarship from Göteborgs Slöjdförening at our day of graduation.
