Katt People
Birgitta has 22 cats in her back yard. They would have been killed if she hadn't rescued them. Anders puts his Sphynx in a dress. Grålis the cat gets fed every day – but has never known a human being.
Katt People is a photographic book and exhibition, that explores the relationship between cats and people. It’s a bond that is intense and heartfelt, but also complex and unequal.
Zoo World
In 2011, Julia Lindemalm began to visit zoos and the result is a photographic observation, at once personal and documentary. Her body of work Zoo World features images taken at ten zoos around Europe, from Berlin to Borås. The exhibition also includes photos of tiger owners from Texas and the ailing Sea World in Florida. However, the geographic location is not of signi cance. The photographic exhibition Zoo World re ects our relationship with animals in captivity on an existential level.
Children in war
By Niclas Hammarström
‘Children in war’ reflects the terrifying spectrum of physical and psychological suffering faced by millions of children living in war and conflict zones throughout the world today.
Children are the most vulnerable members of society, and therefore the greatest victims of war. Through a selection of images from ve countries this exhibition depicts the situation of 1/8 of the world’s children today as one in eight children is born into a conflict zone. In order to reflect the scope of this suffering, Hammarström traveled to cover ve different conflicts on four continents. The exhibition consists of stories from Iraq, Afghanistan, Honduras, the Ukraine and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Syria
The exhibition ‘Syria’ depicts the impact of the conflict in Syria between 2012 and 2013. During several visits to Syria, Hammarström documented the suffering of civilians and the country’s decline. Without endeavouring to veil the harsh reality, Hammarström’s photographs capture the truths of a civil war, which has led to the largest displacement of people in our times.

Children Having Children
The exhibition ‘Children Having Children’ aims to raise awareness of gender-based violence in order to eliminate all violence against girls/women. During 2014, Linda Forsell, travelled to Guatemala to document the harsh reality faced by young girls having children. In a country with strict abortion laws, 5,100 girls between the ages of 10 and 14, gave birth as a result of rape in 2013. ‘Children Having Children’ creates a powerful platform for debate on the greater structure behind gender inequality, the rights of children, and the significance of reproductive health.
