In connection with the exhibition Inuuteq Storch: Rise of the Sunken Sun, the Hasselblad Foundation invites you to a talk about storytelling as resistance. With examples from photography, comics, literature, and other art forms, the discussion will explore how images and text can be used to reclaim history, work with archives and personal memories, and create space for experiences that have long been excluded from dominant historical narratives.

Date: Wednesday, 25 March, 17:30–18:30
Place: Hasselblad Center
The talk is included in the admission fee.
The talk will be held in Swedish.

Participants: Carola Grahn, Lawen Mohtadi, and Mats Jonsson
Moderator: Louise Wolthers, Hasselblad Foundation
