On the occasion of the 140 year anniversary of Handarbetets Vänner (Friends of Handicraft), an exhibition of three large art works was presented at the association's gallery, Eivor Hedvall, Banner for International Woman Alliance (1911), Siri Derkert, Vi-We-Nous (1963) and Åsa Cederqvist, The expectation, devotion and the ambivalence of being penetrated and born-again (2010). This exhibition catalogue contains interpretations and images of them, as well as assessment of their emancipatory content.
