On the Hunt: An Insight into the Swedish Hunting Culture
This work delves into the practices & traditions that shape Sweden’s generational hunting heritage. Returning to my home in southwest Sweden, I document hunters, families, and communities during winter hunts, where knowledge and values are passed from one generation to the next. Hunting here is more than a practice of wildlife management. It is a cultural bond, uniting people across class and age through shared rituals, storytelling, and time in nature. This project highlights hunting as a living tradition rooted in identity and belonging.
