Ulrika Knutson talks about the pamphlet Fred med jorden (Peace with the earth) co-written in 1940 by farmer Elisabeth Tamm and author Elin Wägner, that has given the current exhibition at the Gotland Art Museum its name.
“Tamm and Wägner were way ahead of their time in their views on the environment, ecological agriculture and sustainable consumption. Thoughts that were developed further by Elin Wägner in her book Väckarklocka in 1941 (The Alarm Clock). The parallels with our times are both frightening and inspiring.”
