Immigrant women give a new perspective on the history of Malmö
Who were the women that came to Malmö during the 1900s and up until now? What did they do and where did they stay? What do their daughters do? And what marks have the left on the city? These are some of the questions that will be asked in connection with the project. The stories will be preserved in the museum archives forever.
Parvin Ardalan says: “When we speak about immigration and women it is predominantly with regard to integration. It is however important to discuss their role in society and how they influenced their surroundings, historically and at present. This is one of our main missions in Feminist Dialog. Together with the museum, we will evoke curiosity about these women’s stories and increase people's involvement in this crucial writing of history.”
