Who are Vila and Famna?

Art consultant : Anna Karin Larsson

During the opening of the Wallstreet festival on June 1, children aged 3 and up were able to create together with artists Stina Wirsén and Klara Wirsén Suchowiak, where the starting point was form, playfulness and materiality.

Stina Wirsén and Klara Wirsén Suchowiak's public sculpture group Vila & Famna, which was inaugurated at Sara Kulturhus in 2023, has been used as inspiration for the collective presentation of children's works in different materialities and themes, which will be displayed in Sara Kulturhus' library window this summer.

Stina Wirsén is an illustrator and author who has received a number of awards for her illustrations over the years. She has, among other things, made illustrations for ABC books, anthologies and picture books.

Klara Wirsén Suchowiak is an artist and sculptor with a focus on democracy and sustainability. She has won several awards, including the Form sustainability award and the Ung svensk form – IKEA award winner.
