In the spring 2018, Benjamin Nørskov started his EPA Sweden project. Now, six years later, he is still portraying the Swedish youth and their EPA tractors and he is currently presenting his eighth solo exhibition at Arbetets Museum, Norrköping, Sweden.
Benjamin Nørskov started the EPA Sweden project during his 7th term in the spring 2018 as a part of our Youth in Europe workshop and continued to work on the story during his 8th term in the fall 2018. Now, the EPA Sweden exhibition consists of 75 images photographed all over the south of Sweden.
The EPA Sweden project has received a lot of attention in Sweden over the years. The current exhibition has been reviewed in Kulturnyhederne at SVT and Benjamin Nørskov has been interviewed for the Swedish national radio P1. Back in November 2019, Benjamin Nørskov was invited to the Swedish Parliament, Riksdagen, where Lars Mejern Larsson, member of Riksdagen for the Social Demokrats and spokesman of cultural affairs had invited Benjamin to Stockholm to talk about his project. Read about that meeting here.
