The bird in me flies where it wants / Painting / Art / Feminism

At the beginning of the 20th century, young Berta grew up on a farm, with the only prospect of a life as a housewife. But Berta dreams... She explores, draws the nature around her and sculpts birds in the clay of the stream – birds similar to the one she imagines, lurking inside her, with wings ready to unfold. In recounting the youth of Swedish Berta Hansson, Sara Lundberg evokes the waiting, the mourning, the ardent desire and the intransigence necessary to follow one's own path. A vibrant album about a little-known painter, forgotten, like so many women artists.
