Colleagues, We are working on a reference question (see below) to help a student, and would appreciate any guidance or suggestions. Does anyone have a contact in ARLIS/Norden? Here are the student's interests/notes. She is, of course, already researching Oyvind Fahlstrom. We are interpreting her criteria to include artists of Swedish origin - whether or not they were actually born in Sweden (e.g. Fahlstrom, who was born in Sao Paolo). >>>>Finding names and information on the life and work of visual >>>>artists in Sweden or from Sweden who fit these criteria: >>>>Time period: active from the 1950s - 1990s >>>>Immigrants: African (Ethiopian specifcally), Brazilian, >>>>Argentinian, Caribbean, or Asian (Thailand specifically) artist >>>>that moved to Sweden >>>>Emigrants: Sweden artist that moved to Africa (Ethiopia), >>>>Brazil, Argentina, the Caribbean, or Asia (Thailand) >>>> >>>> >>>>Note from student: >>>>...search[ed for] Afro-Swedes and found some interesting >>>>information - the Sweden Diaspora has a long history with Africa >>>>(Ethiopia), Brazil, and Argentina!
