The blue hoarding at Slussen is becoming a photo exhibition

The photographers range in age from 17 to 85 and have chosen the pictures themselves. Together, they show what Södermalm and Slussen have looked like and what life there has been like across several generations.

Behind the exhibition is PLANKET Stockholm, Sweden’s largest photography exhibition. Since 1982, it has brought together around 300 photographers along the hoarding at Vitabergsparken every August. Nyanser is a more curated version, taking photography to other parts of the city and different times of the year. Shades of Södermalm is the first in the series and is organised in collaboration with Projekt Slussen and the Södermalm District Administration.

And the hoarding won’t be disappearing just yet.

“Even though work on Slussen is nearing completion, the construction hoarding will remain in place for a while longer”, says Pernilla Svenningsson at Projekt Slussen.

The photo exhibition is free to visit on the construction hoarding by Katarinahissen from November 12 to April 30. Opening reception on November 12 from 15:00 to 18:00. More information at planketsthlm.se.
