Berättelser från skogen | Solo exhibition | Kilens hembygdsgård, Sideby (FI), July 2023

Storytelling is an inherent part of what makes us human. Through individual and communal narratives we can collect and pass on knowledge, practice empathy and compassion for wider ecological communities, and develop resilience over time. This exhibition aimed to elevate the small and oftentimes inconspicuous tales of various forest dwellers. From moss’s intricate beauty, lingonflowers’ tender vulnerability, to the sinuous and clever pathways traced by bark beetles, each and every one have a something to tell us. It is up to us to slow down and pay attention, to carefully collect and pass these stories on to future generations.
