Seminar: Malmberget in Stockholm / the ArkDes Collection
11:00 M-salen i Gällivare Folkets hus
How is Malmberget represented in the ArkDes Collection in Stockholm? Seminar at Folkets Hus in Gällivare.
Guest researcher Karin Reisinger has explored drawings and photos of the slowly disappearing mining town of Malmberget. She will present her documentation of selected architecture from the 30s to the 70s in Gällivare-Malmberget. By inviting inhabitants of Malmberget and Gällivare she aims to facilitate a discussion of the implications of architecture by including the local knowledge.
Everyone interested is invited to the lecture with images by architects such as Hakon Ahlberg and Folke Hederus to take part in the conversation on which society they drew in their architect offices in Stockholm.
In English and Swedish. With snacks.
