NOVEMBER 2015: LANDSTINGET SÖRMLANDS KULTURSTIPENDIE 2015
SÖRMLANDS CITY COUNCIL´S CULTURAL AWARD 2015
The jury´s motivation:
“Where others see trash, Johanna Törnqvist see raw material.
“Her work comprises criticism of civilization but she does not stick to
the gloomy side and raises no pointers. Instead, she offers something
attractive and beautiful, and only when we get close, we can see the origin.”
