Locus out of Focus – an online book
I participated in a very interesting urban art project City as a living organism in the spring of 2014 in Ekenäs as one of 9 experts from different fields. The transdisciplinary workshop was arranged by Heini Aho and Sebastian Ziegler (AKU) in cooperation with Novia University of Applied Science and Pro Artibus art foundation. Now […]
Finding one’s tribe in Madrid
I have researched first-time parents in Helsinki in Finland and Gothenburg in Sweden to learn to better understand the parents’ urban and online meeting places in similar ways as folks in the project ‘Caring IN the city’, carried out by Pandora Mirabilia and funded by European Culture Foundation. This is a very important project close to my […]
Bernie Sander’s land is my land
I often think of “my US” as a bubble in an otherwise quite hostile and frightening American society. But now and then I find that my American subculture can be described more like a greenhouse where great ideas and wonderful innovations prosper and slowly find their way into American mainstream society. Bernie Sanders represents my greenhouse […]

The House was formed in 2010 by a group of artists, asylum seekers, students, and professionals in reaction to the way in which the Danish state treats asylum seekers and refugees. The house continues to provide refugees and asylum seekers […]
Europas självömkan
Jag sitter och lyssnar på morgonens nyheter och surfar på nätets nyhetssidor. Det som slår mig är hur en annan våg väller fram över Europa tillsammans med flyktingvågen – nämligen en våg av självömkan. Angela Merkel är i blåsväder för att hon vill hålla gränserna öppna i både Tyskland och EU för folk som söker skydd från […]

Paradigmskifte skapar möjligheter
En välskriven och viktig betraktelse kan vi idag läsa i tidningen Syre, Sveriges första fristående gröna nyhetsmagasin. I artikeln konstaterar Max Jonsson att vi står inför ett paradigmskifte – både när det gäller det ekonomiska systemet och de samhälleliga strukturerna: Mot bakgrund av detta är ofta miljö- och klimatdebattens frågeställningar felställda. Utmaningen beskrivs envist i […]
