Søsterskap (Sisterhood) brings together photographers of different generations from the Nordic countries whose works reflect the socio-political context of the welfare state. The interplay between photography and this social democratic model is here seen as a key factor in defining the rich and multifaceted panorama of camerawork from the region, spanning from the 1980s to today. This publication accompanied the 2023 exhibition Søsterskap—Contemporary Nordic Photography, invited as one of the main exhibitions for the Les Rencontres d’Arles.
