The artist and poet Nachla Libre's work ”Alma de artista" which can be seen in Tensta center during the festival, pays tribute to Gabriela Mistral, Nobel laureate in literature 1945.
”Before this year's festival, we were invited to imagine how Nobel Week Lights can develop in the Järva area, and Tensta offers a unique and important context", says Lara Szabo Greisman, co-founder of the festival, in a press release.
The Tensta part of the light festival also contains the art work ”Dörren”, a red door that connects to Tomas Tranströmer's poem ”Den halvfärdiga himlen” (where every person is described as ”a half-open door that leads to a room for everyone”).
On Norrbro, in front of the Riksdagshuset, stands another door in the same red shade and the one who opens the door in Tensta meets the one who does the same thing outside the Riksdagshuset.
Just like previous years, the facade of the City Hall is covered by a large light installation, this time by the Frenchman Yann Nguema, who with the work ”Pro pace” tells about peace prize winners whose struggle continues to be current today. The festival with a total of 19 light installations takes place 6–14/12.
