    In September, artist and UMD art professor Alison Aune will present a program about the exhibition Karin Larsson: Let the Hand be Seen on view at the American Swedish Institute. Alison will share the many innovative, bold, and colorful works created by Karin Larsson as depicted in her husband Carl Larsson’s beloved paintings. This presentation will celebrate the art of Karin Larsson as one of Sweden’s most important woman designers.

    Our annual pot-luck will follow the presentation.

    October 20, 2024

    In October, Scott Lademan will present: “Slowing Down: A Fulbright Year in Sweden”.

    Scott spent the 2022-2023 academic year as the Fulbright Distinguished Chair in American Studies at Uppsala University in Sweden. It was a marvelous but also occasionally challenging time for him and his family, with new places to see, new foods to try, and new people to meet. This presentation will recount some of the sites they visited, the perhaps surprising Vietnam War research Scott undertook, and the more balanced Swedish value system his family came to appreciate.
