On 21 May, photographer Nanny Ålander participated in an exhibition at Galleri Axel on Södermalm in Stockholm.
Nanny participated with her images from Forbidden Love, a project about all love being good love based on a story that stretches from Nanny's grandmother's time to the present day.
The vernissage was well attended and it was a good opportunity for me to showcase my photographic art. I'm really looking forward to showing my photographs from the Forbidden Love project on more occasions.
Already this week, Nanny is presenting a new exhibition, this time at Humlab-X in connection with Umeå Design Week.
Forbidden Love shows the love between two women and the importance of being able to choose who you love, despite a context and a spirit of the time when love of this kind was not accepted. The Forbidden Love project consists of photo exhibitions, a short film and a photo book with poems, which are available for sale at the Eljest shop in Umeå.
The project is rooted in a desire for a paradigm shift that dissolves people's fear of the unfamiliar and unfamiliar into unconditional love and acceptance. It's about collective love - that we are all the same despite our differences," says Nanny.
Galleri Axel is a photo-based art gallery in Södermalm, Stockholm, owned and operated by photographer Bea Tigerhielm. With a background in art history and documentary photography, the gallery showcases transgressive and pleasure-based art and documentary photography where the stories are the focus.
The ambition is to show the small stories of the great photographers and the big stories of the unestablished photographers, with the hope of contributing to the development of photography in Stockholm.
