Jag är sociolog – en radikal sådan – på University of Watermouth.
Jag är antikvarie. (Med faiblesse för gamla ockulta böcker).

Vad tusan?! Den här var ju en av grejerna jag gillade med Västlänken www.svd.se/a/K8v4bo/gle...
Glenn Hysén hyllade – men jobbet stoppades
Offentlig konst väcker debatt – i en serie borrar SvD Kultur i varför. När en konstnärsduo i Göteborg ville göra ett verk med en evigt anställd person blev det stopp.

I wrote my PhD thesis on 15th century professors, and i`ll never stop smiling about the countless complaints about academic life in their letters and notebooks. "I`m overcommited" "I should have finished my dissertation before joining my order", "I lost count how many things i`ve written". :D
We always think of monks and canons being all so dutiful. But they were only human, after all.

2026 års affischkonstnär Lovisa Sköld - Göteborg Film Festival
Nästa års festivalaffisch har skapats av konstnären Lovisa Sköld. Med en obestridlig teknisk skicklighet förenar hon det vardagliga och det fabulösa i sina karaktäristiskt glansiga oljemålningar.
