Singing for Solidarity
Pete Seeger turend 94 yesterday and we were singin If I had a hammer in a tower in Italy to celebrate him and his life. One of music’s most powerful attributes is its ability to bring people together around a cause, a theme Bill Moyers has explored many times with a variety of artists. […]
Jonas Hassan Khemiri och om gatukonst
Jag satt just och tittade på Babel i SVT och serien Khemiri på prao. Denna gång skulle Jonas Hassen Khemiri skriva encyklopediska – en text för Nationalencyklopedin. Uppdraget var att skriva en objektiv definition av begreppet “gatukonst”. Jag funderade på det han skrev “det jag tog bort (som var jag)”. Han sade själv i inslaget att när han ska […]
The space where we live, work, study and spend our freetime affect our lives…
…it really does. To me this issue is very important to discuss. What can we do to affect the way homes; places where we work, study and play are planned and built? Why do we have so little influence when it comes to the planning of our everyday spaces? Why have we given the planning […]

Moralen och konsumtionen
Ett nytt ekonomiskt system är det möjligt? Ja det får man verkligen hoppas. Annars barkar det åt helvetet för vår planet och för mänskligheten. Ekosystemet håller inte om vi fortsätter som vi gjort de senaste 50 åren. Filosofiska rummet sände ett intressant och tankeväckande program från Dramaten i Stockholm innan jul under rubriken Om krisen, […]
We are what we read
….and we read according to what class we belong to. The reality presented to us is also very different depending on what we read, according to Kajsa Ekis Ekman on Dagens Nyheters kultursida. The newspapers create different sorts of realities for us. I remember my mother in-law talking about this phenomenon with me concerning her son-in-laws […]
