Swedish artist Ann Edholm wants her large paintings to be experienced as an encounter with a human being, direct and physical. Despite their sharply defined geometric shapes, Edholm's imagery is based on human experience and contains cultural and symbolic references. The paintings include interpretations of art history and medieval stories, of Jewish deportations during the Nazi reign, as well as growing up in the aftermath of a war.BildmuseetGuided tourshttps://www.umu.se/en/events/museum-curator-brita-taljedal-gives-a-guided-tour2_8686878/2020-02-02T14:00:00+01:002020-02-02T15:00:00+01:00https://www.umu.se/en/events/art-friday-on-saint-valentines-day_8778179/Art Friday on Saint Valentine’s Day!Art Friday on Saint Valentine’s Day!

During his life, he would rise to the highest heights in the world of sports, scholarship, as an artist and eventually as a renowned civil rights activist. His fame spread throughout the world, particularly his unmistakable bass-baritone voice. His iconic performance with the song Old Man River in 1928 in the stage production of ShowBoat would follow him throughout the rest of his life and beyond.Robeson started a career in law when after a brief stint he realized there was no room at the top of the law profession for a black man. Encouraged by his wife, he began to mingle with musicians, writers and actors in the early stages of the Harlem Renaissance and as they say, the rest is history.——JASON NEMOR HARDEN (b. Houston, USA) is an American/Icelandic singer, saxophonist, actor and writer, since 2013 a part of Nordic Black Theatre. He has written three of the theatre’s productions with the latest about Martin Luther King Jr. set to be staged at Det Norske Opera og Ballet in March 2021.
