Authors Staffan Bergwik and Henrik Arnstad and nyckelharpa player Erik Rydvall will each receive scholarships of SEK 100,000 from the Klockrosen Foundation.
The foundation was founded in 2020 by author Kerstin Ekman and her husband Börje Frelin to provide financial support to authors whose essayistic work requires research and travel. Scholarships are also given to musicians.
Staffan Bergwik is awarded for "Terranauterna", which, according to the jury, is a book about "the fragile contexts of which humans are a part and which they themselves now threaten".
Henrik Arnstad is awarded for "The Cursed Optimist Ernst Wigforss." The jury also highlights nyckelharpa player Erik Rydvall's "innovative work in baroque music."
