Their works reviving and reimagining the possibilities of Swedish folk art for the contemporary day will be exhibited alongside historic pieces from the Swedish American Museum collection. Come see the evolution of Swedish folk with its characteristic floral kurbits (fantastical gourd flowers) and decorative figurative bonadsmåleri painting from the southern provinces of Småland and Halland from hundreds of years ago to today!
