A conversation about Sonja Åkesson and the exhibition *The Sun is Shining Outside*

Sonja Åkesson depicted everyday life and social conditions in Sweden during the 1950s to the 1970s. She was interested in gender roles and gender equality, as evident in feminist classics such as *Vara vit mans slav* (To Be a White Man’s Slave). What role did the society of that time play in Sonja’s writing? What significance did Sonja Åkesson hold for cultural life then and now? In what ways can we view and interpret her somewhat lesser-known visual art?
