The Sweden Day also includes activities open to the public (entrance is free): At 16.30 the Ambassador will open the photo exhibition “AccessAbility” at Roja Culture Centre.
“AccessAbility” is based on personal
stories of fourteen people in Sweden and fourteen people in Latvia. The
exhibition show their experiences and perspectives on life with a disability.
The exhibition will be on display until March 12. At 18.00 at Roja Culture
Centre, the Swedish movie “A Serious Game” will be screened. The movie is an
adaptation of the Swedish author Hjalmar Söderberg's novel from 1912. It is a
passionate love story about the choices we have, the ones we don’t, the choices
we make and the consequences that follow.
13 February is the so called Shrove
Tuesday in Sweden. On this day, Swedes eat the traditional “semla” – a wheat
flour bun, flavoured with cardamom and filled with almond paste and whipped
cream. Visitors of the opening of “AccessAbility” will be able to taste the
Swedish semla.
