Swedish PEN: “As if we never existed”

Wed 3 apr6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

A programme about the Swedish state’s violations against the Tornedalen, Kvän, Lantalaiset and Meänkieli people and language, which was investigated by the government-appointed Truth Commission, which was submitted to the minister of culture on 15 November 2023.

What does this study entail for the minority, and what is the next step? How could these violations take place and then be suppressed for so long?

Bonniers Konsthall has a long-standing collaboration with Swedish PEN and organises several seminars every year to spread knowledge about and commitment to freedom of expression.

Participants: Eva Dahlén and Frida Sundkvist. Presenter: Cecilia Hansson.

Free entrance, in Swedish.
