With original pictures and poems from the collections of the Museum of Ethnography we give you Ester Blenda Nordströms equally unexpected and adventurous journey to the eastern outskirts of Russia.
Ester Blenda Nordström writer and pioneer in investigative journalism lived in a time when women did not have the right to vote and was expected to be a “nice lady”. She often wished that she had been a boy because they got to live so much freer.
Although Ester Blenda was both acclaimed and renowned for her documentary journalism, her writing and non the least her social commitment during her lifetime she fell into oblivion for many years. Not until Anna Hylander’s documentary film about Ester Blenda came out in 2016 she was “rediscovered”.
The Museum of Ethnography shows poems and original photos from when Ester Blenda Nordström travelled to Kamchatka, a peninsula in the far eastern parts of Russia.
