Gallery Three
The exhibition ”Sweden in Ten Visions” poses a critical question: Can a dress reveal the essence of a nation?
Here the curator of the exhibition, Ingrid Giertz-Märtenson and
designer Hjördis Agustsdottir will talk about the vision behind this
new perspective of dress: using it to interpret the identity and values
of Sweden. Ten phenomena in the disguise of ten dresses, characterizing
Sweden, are presenting a new way of communicating the ”brand” of a
nation.
