The exhibition Labour mon Amour is an homage of the invisible work and labour that surrounds us, but often is taken for granted. In the exhibition the artists Rana Kadry and Helena Persson meet through several installations and artworks, with different artistic approaches. The exhibition has emerged through conversations, messages, photos and sketches sent back and forth between the two countries where the artists have been situated during the autumn – South Africa and Sweden. Actually, the first time they meet is in this very gallery. 

Their focus is social diversity and identity. Labour mon Amour is an exploration of society from a serious but at also playful angle – an ongoing conversation about how we value people’s lives and actions. And the possibilities to make a change.

Who is cleaning behind the scenes?
Do we see them? 
Who is doing the labour for whom? 
Do we acknowledge them?
