Swedish Dads is a photo exhibition based on portraits of a select group of fathers who choose to stay home with their babies for at least six months. Photographer Johan Bävman examines why these fathers have chosen to stay home with their children, what the experience has given them, and how their relationship with both their partners and their children has changed as a result. The exhibition aims to show the effects of gender equality in parenting on both individuals and society.
The photo exhibition Swedish Dads has been travelling to more than 50 countries all over the world. The exhibition portrays 25 fathers in Sweden and was showing at Epicenter Amsterdam from March 4 – March 9, 2019 as a joint collaboration between the Swedish Institute, the Swedish Embassy in the Hague, Swedish Chamber of Commerce and Epicenter Amsterdam.
The Photo Exhibition Swedish Dads was a part of The Gender Game Changer Theme week which will included daily Lunch talks with interesting speakers, Film night and more.
The Semla – more than just a bun – has become something of a carb-packed icon in Sweden.
Semlor are doughy balls of sin, oozing of almond and cardamom paste with lots of vanilla-whipped cream atop. Traditionally eaten only on the day before Lent, (the Christian fasting period), Shrove Tuesday, known as Fettisdagen or ‘Fat Tuesday’ in Sweden. This is followed by a nationwide complaint about how it happens earlier every year. Shortly thereafter people begin to eat semlor like there is no tomorrow. But the annual semla hysteria is only a part of a bigger picture which is the social phenomenon that is uniquely Swedish and known as fika.
Fika does not have an English translation – it means to take a break with friends and/or colleagues, over coffee and a pastry or two. However, it means so much more than that. It is tradition rooted in the very foundation of Swedishness.
Therefore, the Young Professionals invited you to celebrate Fettisdagen (Fat Tuesday) with us at the Nordic Bakery Cafe Selma’s in Amsterdam on March 3, 2019 at 15.00
We want to thank everyone who participated in this event.
