"Kulturkraft" (translated into english: cultural power) is a project that makes culture possible for Åland schools. Kulturkraft aims to offer elementary school students on Åland a rich and free range of artistic experiences in their school environment. The first step is an Open Call where cultural actors on Åland are invited to apply to be part of the offer. A selection committee then selects a number of projects, which are presented in a catalog where the schools themselves can choose one or more that suit their wishes and needs. Based on their selection, the artists then visit the school in the period 15 March 2023 - May 2024.

" I fell in love with the art of photography when I became familiar with French street photography in the 1960s, and my great role model was Henri Cartier-Bresson. He photographed intuitively and so do I. Often it is the decisive moment that counts, but sometimes you have more time, and then you can compose the picture. Before the serious traffic accident in 1983, I mostly photographed in black and white, after that color came into the picture. I became more subjective, and half of the images in the exhibition become more semi-abstract with a symbolic meaning. I am a romantic and a minimalist by nature. I still photograph but to a much smaller extent than before. You have to do what you love to do as long as you can!” says Ingmar Lundberg.

In the spring of 2022, Art Agenda sought, through an Open Call, young people who wanted to take the opportunity to show their thoughts on a sustainable future in a creative expression. Several applicantions came from Åland and during the autumn of 2022, the Nordic Institute on Åland has the great pleasure of presenting some of these in an art exhibition that opens on September 29th!
