Until 22 February 2026 at the Jewish Museum Stockholm

This extraordinary exhibition pays tribute to the Swedish photographer, known for her portraits and advertisements, but who also immortalised Swedish Jewish life in the second half of her career. From the 1930s onwards, she went on reportage to document the lives of the Jewish, Roma and Swedish minorities. Anna Riwkin (1908-1970) travelled extensively, producing books for adults and children that made her famous. For three decades, she photographed numerous events in Swedish Jewish life. With her husband, she also launched a Swedish Jewish cultural institute. Anna Riwkin travelled frequently to Israel from the 1940s onwards, photographing its inhabitants across the country, reflecting the diversity of its population.
