Join Kinfolk in Scandinavia and get a deeper look inside the cultural powerhouse. In this issue, they examine Scandinavia through a different lens than most, looking beyond the quality-of-life tropes to interrogate the region’s darkness and the creativity it can breed. Speak to pop icon Tove Lo, provocative filmmaker Ruben Östlund, and Sweden’s preeminent painter Karin Mamma Andersson, among others. Plus essays on the mainstream, hotel art and how to make a decision.
