About this Event

Join us for evening tours of our latest photography exhibit Snow and Rain Shall Pass by Swedish photographer Karin Alfredsson. Come see our beautiful Embassy building House of Sweden - a stunning example of contemporary Scandinavian architecture - and meet with our Cultural Counselor, Stefan Hansen, who will give guided tours at 6 PM on the selected dates. Drop-ins are welcome if space is available.
Karin Alfredsson was born in Jämtland and grew up on Frösön. As a photographer, she seeks out landscapes that few humans have visited, and even fewer have left their mark on: forests, mountains, and waterways. Today these locations are rare and hard to find.

Alfredsson walks or skis to remote land, often spending long periods of time, to fully get to know her surroundings, waiting for the right conditions to appear for her photographs. The weather, light, and atmosphere are as important as the landscape itself.

Snow and Rain Shall Pass is the title of an ongoing series of works: it is poetic, yet factual, as a weather report. Alfredsson is not interested in beauty the way it is normally depicted on conventional postcards. Her photographs are from northern Scandinavia, places like the Dyatlov Pass, Buvriejaverie, and the Arctic region, but Alfredsson prefers not to title them with specific names. They "just are.”
Welcome!
