The Breath exhibition nominated to Swedish Art and Business Award

The photo exhibition The Breath has been nominated for the Swedish Art and Business Award by the association Kultur och Näringsliv. The Breath was arranged during the summer of 2022 by Nederman in collaboration with Dunkers Kulturhus. The exhibition focused on the air we breathe, live in and its importance for our lives.

The Swedish Art & Business Association annually awards the Swedish Art & Business Award. The basic idea is that a collaboration between business and culture should be of mutual and long-term benefit for both parties. The jury includes H.K.H. Prince Carl Philip and the association’s CEO Anders Boman. The prize will be awarded on May 15 in Varberg.

Awarded five years working grant about the social impacts of plastic pollution

Happy to announce that my ongoing work about the social impacts of plastic pollution and environmental degradation has been awarded five years working grant from Swedish author foundation.
