So many interesting meetings with people from different generations from my recent journey to Greenland. The results will end up in a book and the trip was made thanks to a travel grant from the Swedish Arts Grants Committee.

I also met several young people that I followed in their everyday lives. The Corona crisis escalated in the very beginning of my trip and I had to work extreamly hard to recieve the material that I needed. Panic broke out in the small community, and I was seen as a source of infection coming from outside. An epidemic in the small village would have devastating consequences, so I could understand their concern.

I have the honour to participate in the collection exhibition at beautiful Gallery Axel in Stockholm. The image is my favorite one from the newly published book Mayfly. Please, come and see the works of so many talented photographers next week!

I recently returned from eastern Congo where I visited the Panzi Hospital and the transit accommodation Maison Dorcas among others. The sexual violence in DR Congo is brutal, massive and affects everyone regardless off age. I met several women who told me about the horrific abuses they suffered. But still, they had hope and faith for the future. Maison Dorcas is a fantastic place where the women can heal and get different skills to become subsistence. Neema Iruki Joice, 20 years today lives at Maison Dorcas. When she arrived, she was deeply depressed. Today she is a strong, charismatic woman with bright thoughts of the future. When she returns back home she will start her own sewing buisness.

Finally my lates book Mayfly arrived. Bookrelease coming soon!
