Karin!
2026
Nine textile artists studied and drew inspiration from the home textiles of Karin Bergöö Larsson (wife of Carl Larsson, 1883–1919), presenting individual interpretations of selected reference works.
The project originated from our experience that functional textiles receive too little attention in the public sphere, and that women's textile craftsmanship is too often undervalued and underpriced. Our vision is to highlight Karin Bergöö Larsson's domestic textiles through the hands of emerging female textile artists. We aim to emphasize the importance of the home in times of uncertainty while also creating a platform for artists at the beginning of their careers. As part of the project, we studied Karin Bergöö Larsson's household textiles and interpreted them through our own individual artworks.
