You combine A and B. Adding to a puzzle, shards like from an earlier life. At the same time, it’s not a life that belongs to you. All stories and situations that you recognize differ in some detail. You realize it’s your story, but the source is someone else. We speak with a single voice, we start conversations, require change. It is massive and will make an impact on how we continue to live and exist. We have met people who identify themselves as women or non-men to inspire as well as start discussions in this issue. You will soon discover that the issue can be read from two directions, in two languages, but with one voice. We hope to make an impression on you and that when you leave this issue, you will have new insights. New experiences. New eyes inspecting and participating in the fight for an equal world. This is The Woman Issue.

burned out
Diary entry 4th of July 2017 Today I couldn’t remember were I live. I couldn’t remember what number, what letter or what color the building has. I had to use Google Maps to find it. I couldn’t remember the code for the gate so I had to use the key. I couldn’t remember what key to use so I had to try them all. I’ve lost my headphones and my bus card. Something is wrong.
But no painkillers killed the headache, the fatigue couldn’t be fixed with sleep and the cold never broke out. Instead, I was walking around in a never-ending haze. It felt like my brain slowly shut down, I forgot things as soon as I heard them. I lost material things and I lost words while I was speaking. It felt like my body slowly died from the inside and out. I had hit the wall.
I got sick-listed two weeks after this entry. I was suffering from fatigue syndrome. I was burned out. Getting this diagnose written on paper felt like the ground disappeared right beneath my feet. I fell down in to dark hole were all the responsibilities I had still rested upon me. It reminded me on a daily basis that I had failed. Every cell in my body had known for a long time that something was wrong. But I could always find an explanation for it, I had a headache, I had slept badly, I was probably just getting a cold.
In one way, the world stopped existing as I got sick-listed. It felt terrible, like I couldn’t handle life. It felt like I couldn’t do what everyone else managed to do. I couldn’t manage working, going to school or hanging out with friends. I didn’t have enough energy to watch Netflix, answer text messages, cook food or even get out of bed. What did everyone else do different to manage life? Why couldn’t I?

I never looked upon my life as extreme in any way. Surely, I was a program student who always wanted to do well in school. Nothing else but the best grade was good enough. I had not one, but two extra jobs beside school. One of these were my dream job, were I got the opportunity to be creative without restrictions. I had just finished a bachelor in Media technologies and jumped right in to the process of getting another bachelor in media and communications. I had a social life and I had hobbies. I had a life as anyone else. Today when I can look back at this from an objective angle, I realize that one part of the issue was, and still is, that a packed life is a desirable life. As an individual, you are judged based on what you are doing, on how many things you can complete in one day. The smaller the breaks are between productive times, the better. The thing is that it’s not the weak that get burned out. The ones that break down are not lazy. We are engaged; we have a fire burning for what we do, it’s what keeps us going. We have that raging fire in our hearts, in our brains and in everything we do. We are burning, and we are burning up. This is happening while today’s society is acting as the cheerleader next to our playfield, encouraging us to always do and produce more. Always wanting us to be a more contributing member of the society.
One by one, young women around me are falling down the same dark hole as I did. Some of them haven’t fallen yet but are dangerously balancing on the edge. I know that a lot of them are thinking the same thoughts as I thought. That their lives aren’t that extreme, that they’re just doing the same amount of the same things as everyone else. But the feelings of fatigue that can’t be cured by rest just wont go away. Take care of yourself. Revalue what you’re doing, the amount of what you’re doing and why you’re doing it. Please don’t keep balancing on the edge; it’s not worth it once you fall down that path to the dark hole. It’s never worth it. And things can get better, you can feel energized and calm again. I promise you. Lots of love, Paulina
Everyone can get burned out; it’s going to happen to all of us if we don’t change how society and ourselves values success and accomplishments. It’s not reasonable that we are expected to work besides attending school on full time. It’s not reasonable that we are expected to have a career before we are even finished with school. It.s not reasonable to have a rich social life while we at the same time are expected to be able to work whenever, to always be connected in some way. 24 hours every day, every week, all year around.

You failed? Good, now go and fail again. They are a team of four currently, and have the guidances and the coaching with the entrepreneurs, but also the Friday breakfast every second week, as well as different bigger formats like Fempreneurs, that’s not rolling and repetitive but that they’re really passionate about. It all depends on what they on the team are passionate about and want to do.
Have you had that one really good idea that you, wholeheartedly, feel will change the world and how we live? Do you maybe come up with innovative smaller ideas on a daily basis? Either way, if you still haven’t gone to Drivhuset (located at the bottom floor at Niagara) it’s sure about time. Are you not sure what Drivhuset is or what they can do for you? We sat down with Kim Gerlach and Josefin Runquist to ask them all the important questions we’ve all been thinking about; How do I become the next Oprah? Kim, the coach with focus on the social entrepreneurship and sustainability, began explaining what Drivhuset is and how they work.
The amount of help really depends on the person who is coming there. Sometimes you need more of a kick in the butt so you’ll drop by multiple times a week, and sometimes you drop by once or even just send an email and that’s fine too. Josefin, mainly in charge of the design and productdevelopmentcoaching,continues;

(Kim) We are a creative space for students and entrepreneurs. And right now position us like a pre-incubator as well, so we see ourselves in the early processes with ideas and businesses. When the students have their ideas set and their business and everything, we guide them to other institutions in Malmö like Minc, or we show them different accelerators. Our aim is to be the starting point of the bigger picture, because we fuel the system with more start-ups and young people. I feel like Malmö has so much potential because it has so many students, you know? And we should not miss out on all the great ideas all the young people have. I mean, it’s also good to have a full time job and then become an entrepreneur, but if you harvest all the knowledge and the ideas early on, I think Malmö and Sweden can generate great entrepreneurship. (Josefin) We always put the entrepreneur first, because that’s why we are there. We are hereforyoursake. (Kim) We put the focus on the person and not the idea, we want to make your mindset ready for the next idea if you skip this one. If you realise that your first idea might not work or you’re not as passionate about it later on, screw it. There’s always other ideas waiting to be tried. You have to understand that it’s okay to fail, and that we’re going to make youan entrepreneur. (Josefin) Yeah, it’s often about the person and not the idea. Because you can always change an idea, but you can always develop as a person. (Kim) We try to have an open door policy, even if the door is closed you can always come in. Sometimes students and entrepreneurs just need some quick advice, or a hug, and that’s what we’re there for as well.
(Kim) It’s very diverse [the job], that’s the fun part, you never know which path you’re going to go in with the people you guide.
Can you tell me a bit more about Fempreneurs ? (Josefin) The idea came from us wanting to do something for the people we don’t meet as often as others. It’s open for every women, both swedish and international. (Kim) As an female entrepreneur you are more likely to look for a trustworthy environment. We want this weekend to be a place where you can be both inspired as well as let your guard down. (Josefin) The aim for the weekend for us, is that everyone can get a chance in maybe finding somebody they can keep contact with or just feel strengthened andinspired. (Kim) I think that the narrative for female entrepreneurs is still that you have to have masculine traits to be a good CEO. But we believe that that’s not the case. It’s about showing that you can be your own person, and still be a kickass businesswoman.
The weekend is planned to take place in either February or March next year, and be filled with workshops, inspirational talks with female speakers as well as breaks and time for mindfulness. The group of female entrepreneurs will be going away for the weekend, to help focus and stay inthem oment.O neimportant aspect to the weekend is the concept Unconference.
(Kim) It’s the opposite from a conference, where you sit there and they talk on the stage, and then move on to the next panel and so on. Here it’s peer to peer learning, you decide the topics and we set the frame of time, whether it’s a skill of yours or a question about somethingyouneedhelpwith.
So the first step in becoming your true and best entrepreneur self, is partly watching inspirational videos and Oprah’s life journey, but mainly getting your ass to Drivhuset and letting someone be your bollplank . Because it’s really lonely working by yourself, and it doesn’t haveto be.

A conversation with Sara Al Emir Hi Sara! Tell me a little bit about you and your work I am from Malmö and I studied a Master of Social Studies of Gender. I did some courses here, at Malmö University, but most of my courses were in Lund, at Lund University. Additional to these, I also studied some courses in Mexico related to the Latin American history. At the time I arrived there, there were many news regarding 72 migrants that were found dead in a transit of migrants going to the US. During that same time the issue of transit migration was also starting to become an issue here, in Europe. I worked for a while with Red Cross and I have also been interested in these issues for a long time, but it was only after I was in Mexico that I decided to write about this for my thesis. After I finished my thesis work, I stayed as an activist for a while there and helped out with a humanitarian work. When I came back I needed some time to process everything and to get used to what I have seen and researched. It was a very intense period there because it’s like a war zone and I felt like I had so much information and so many things happened, that I felt I want to do more, not just the thesis, but I wanted to make something public as well, so people would be aware of this. What can you tell me about your exhibitions? When and how did you start working with them? When I was in Mexico, the people doing the same thing like me were photographers and journalists and I worked a lot with three female photographers. Two of them are Mexicans and one is Spanish. I appreciated not only their work but the way they were working so I asked them after I came back to Sweden if they are interested in doing something together. They agreed and even though they don’t work with the gender perspective, which was my perspective, I saw something different in their productions that were not related to men. My focus was on female migrants so I wanted to combine both, how women work, and areas that normally were recognized for men. Also, Mexico is one of the countries in the world where it’s most dangerous to work as a journalist and as a photographer and the work of many female photographers is not appreciated in the same way. Once I was in Sweden, I didn’t know what to do with everything I had and I didn’t know the right group of people to talk with about this. It took me some time, but then, I had this idea and I started to construct the exhibition. We had a small exhibition at Panora with a woman that works with Latin America focus. She gave us the space and a little bit of funding to make the exhibition happen. Everyone was very interested and from there I continued doing this. I think it is fun because I like combining images and research and I did that in my master research as well. Some things are easier to convey through picture than through words.
What is the connection of your work with Malmö? I am a migrant here as well so, at this moment, it has been mostly about just starting discussions related to this, about women in these kind of situations in conflict in general and especially how security politics affects women. This situation has been created because of politics and those politics can be seen here in Sweden as well. I feel we don’t talk enough about what happens with women in those situations. You said you had also some lectures. What was the targeted group for these lectures and who were the women involved? For example, I had one just a couple of weeks ago together with Gothenburg University. They have this network called Gender and Development and there is a professor there from Mexico who has been really pushing because she read my master thesis and she believed in my work. She put me in contact with the group that is now here, at Malmo University, and they work with human rights issues. They had their own exhibition about women rights issues and they invited me to talk. I talked about my journey and there were some young girls (12-13 years old) coming to me and asking me “Did your parents let you go? Was it dangerous?” I could see they were inspired and I also like that part, just talking to people and starting these conversations. Do you have any particular story or experience to share? The whole situation of being in Mexico in that area was the most impacting. My idea from the beginning was just writing my thesis, but then the first place I went to was a shelter in the southern part of Mexico. They were not even man and women, but girls and boys. My first impression was the most impacting because I saw them risking their lives. Seeing how we, as a society, have created this vulnerability, I felt responsible as a researcher not just going there and taking a story and then leaving, but actually talking to people and listening to their stories. People are really vulnerable. 8 out of 10 women in transit are being raped. If they are not raped they kind of have to find a man to be safe. I could feel the fear of 17-18 years old girls. My driving force for my entire work so far has been this feeling of responsibility of doing something after seeing the situation there. Do you have some future main goals with this project? Now I’m writing a research article and I want to continue doing research as well. There is going to be an exhibition at Moriskan in December and there are going to be some other exhibitions in the near future here, at the university. I would say for me, the most important thing at the moment is to start the conversations. Creating a consciousness is an important goal itself. Text & Photography: Beatrice Duiculescu

What do you think of the movement #Metoo? It’s important and good! It’s a problem and it’s not solved by just being quiet. Why did you start studying at Malmö Högskola? I wanted to stay in Malmö. Close to my family and friends.
Do you have female role models in your future field of work? Not yet. It is quite limited and you are new to the industry so it will probably come later.
Do you feel like there are female representatives in your course literature? It is known that the construction industry is man-dominated. So there is not a lot of course literature written by women in this education. But I do have an understanding for it, because there are not so many women in the industry so much of the literature is written by men. However, I think that it must start with more women entering the industry before it will change. It will be better and that is the most important thing.

“There are no words to express what it means to have y’all share your love with me. It’s overwhelming at times, especially since I’m such an introvert. But if I could ask for anything in ‘this world, I’d ask that everyone who has ever said something nice to/about me would look in the mirror and say those exact same words to themselves. It is so much easier to tell others “I love you” or “You’re beautiful” It is so fucking hard to say it to ourselves. Please say it to yourself. Please look in a mirror and say “I love you.” I appreciate you more than words can sayplease appreciate yourselves”

Be aware of yourself. Be aware of your strengths. Be aware of your beauty. Even if you entered the winter mood already, don’t let this stop you from setting small goals to fulfill yourself. Whether it’s a hobby that requires working with your mind or one that gives your body a proper motion, you know for sure if you like it and put passion in it, you will rock! Get out of your comfort zone and learn that by doing something you can see new parts of you and get answers you didn’t even ask questions for. Kathryn E. Livingston is writing how yoga helped her to get rid of pedicure phobia, to change her wardrobe from black to white, to overcome fear and to stop whining about lack and enjoy more about the things owned. @mynameisjessamyn, @yagawithsasha and @yogaforallmumbai are only few of the women who embraced yoga and it gave them the power to appreciate more what they have. They managed to overcome the negativity and discrimination around them and started to put their mood above their appearance. Choose your own way to achieve this power, be it yoga or some other kind of activity!
“Just a reminder that it’s okay if the only form of exercise you’ve done today is turning the pages of your book, making tea and laughing with friends.

An interview over a tattoo It’s lunch time on a typical Monday in November; kind of windy, and we’ve biked to Mitt Möllan to visit spanish born Teresa ‘Tere’ Falomir at Witchcrafts and Tattoos on her day off. To make it more difficult, we are not only interviewing her but she will be tattooing me at the same time. Across from Beyond Retro and the food court in Mitt Möllan, two glass walls reveals the tattoo studio inside. The studio, run by Jonna Tunander, has been there for over a year, and Tere started working there in March. With white walls and simple interiors with two old leather armchairs, a big green plant and a pink balloon (given to them when celebrating their one year anniversary a couple of weeks ago) the studio gives me a cosy and welcoming feeling.
”We can start now if you want” she tells me and we sit down and I place my arm in front of her while she starts the machine.
Before the interview can start there are some things that need to be fixed. A stencil of the tattoo is printed (and re-printed a couple of times because of my decision anxiety) to decide the size of the tattoo. Then we step into the actual studio, with some stools, tattoo chairs and equipment. With a skilled hand Tere disinfects the spot for the tattoo, places the template which leaves traces of lines of how the tattoo will look on my skin. With her honest and calm approach she makes me feel very comfortable, and after re-doing it a couple of times we are both satisfied with the placement.
11
”It was really hard for myself too, quitting my regular job. Working for a company getting paid is like a drug; you feel that you can’t survive without that.”
A stubborn spontaneous woman, Tere, who has so many stories of her sudden decisions to do something; and then doing it. She tells me about when she met a tattoo artist, started hanging around his studio and kept on asking if she could try out tattooing. After a while, her wish came true and she made her first tattoo; a spiral. Which, according to herself, came out pretty well.
”But it was hard, during that time I was studying and working on the side, and it [the tattoo world] was a really man dominated world, I wasn’t comfortable.”
Tere, originally from Castellón de la Plana in Spain, moved to Malmö three and a half years ago. Before that she lived in Barcelona where she worked at an arts and design university as a model and prototype teacher for seven years. Her parents thought she was crazy, moving to Sweden just like that, and tattooing; you need to be really talented to be able to do that! She laughs and continues the sentence; they nowadays are very supportive, and she regularly sends them pictures and they talk about her work. Her friends too were asking her questions like why she quit her well paid good job, with such a good contract and holidays.
Even though she has been tattooing on her free time for over eleven years, it wasn’t until she came to Sweden that she decided to make this her main occupation. She relaxed a little after quitting her job, kept on tattooing in small scale and realized that this is what she wanted to do full time. Tere visited a studio in Stockholm; ”.. this feminist kind of studio, which gave me a lot of inspiration and courage, and after that i felt I needed to find a place of my own!” She got a place in Värnhem and also tried a couple of other places before she; through a friend, got in contact with Jonna at Witchcraft and tattoos. She came down to the studio, talked a little, and they decided to give it a try. They, together with Daniel, now work together and get along really well.
How did it all start; what drew you towards tattooing?
”A friend from my childhood have told me, I don’t remember this myself, that once we were in a park and I was like eleven, and saw some men with tattoos, and said ”I want to get tattoos myself, and learn how to do them!”. But my first tattoo, hmm, I was around 18. We went to work to Menorca, working at hotels cleaning the rooms, because i wanted to buy my first own tattoo machine. I also got a tattoo after that trip.”
12
”I try to focus and believe in the work I’m doing and work hard with that. Not everybody has to be the same, you can’t compare yourself with others. Of course, sometimes I look at others and feel amazed. But not in a competitive way. I just want to evolve myself and I also like to get feedback, even if it’s not positive, because that helps me to develop.”
Is it still male dominated? ”Yes, I think it is. It is changing though, it has opened up to other kinds of artists and persons over the years.”
Is there differences between Barcelona and Malmö? ”No, it is more or less the same. It is more about how the culture has changed and developed over the years. It’s more accessible now to everyone, and with that the culture changes; there is more kinds of studios and people, and public. Before, all of it was a bit the same.”
She takes her time answering, pausing the machine from time to time to look up and answer my questions honestly. Then the silent sound of the machine starts again and I feel the small sting of the needle piercing through my skin. I ask her about the tattoo industry; is it like a community? She explains that of course there are parts of it that feels like a community, nowadays there are many queer tattoo studios e.g. which she is in contact with. Later this year she will visit tattoo shops in both London and Barcelona. She will stay in London for a week working in a shop together with the artists there, to learn more and get inspired by them.
13
You mention queer, what do you mean by that? ” I mean that I am gay and a non normative person. It’s important to create spaces where everybody, both artists and clients, feels comfortable in their own skin. People who are willing to do things in an open minded way. Not to forget how tattoos and tattooing have been connected to subcultures in the past. In my opinion to be stuck in certain traditions and ways of working, that sometimes reminds me of military structures, does not benefit to the art of tattooing in any way.”
We talk about the industry and how it nowadays has become more of a popular art, and how easy it is to find inspiration and contacts through for example Instagram.
”I remember some years ago. Before Instagram, when you found tattoo inspiration through magazines and books. I saw the work of one woman, she was a little hippie-like. I even wrote to her and asked if I could come and bed her apprentice, to learn more. She answered something about that it didn’t work at that exact time, but yeah, she made a big impression on me. Her name is Sabine Gaffron, I think she lived in Switzerland but traveled around a lot working at different places.”
She mentions some other names, like Clare Frances in London, and queer tattooers, an account that started as an initiative to generate a online space for queer artist and clients. Through that channel she has e.g. got in contact with a tattooer from Canada, kind of a pen-pal she says and smiles, and they often talk about their work.
”Oh my god, this is taking so long [the tattoo]”, she laughs and refers to a previously asked question regarding what the strangest/ funniest tattoo she has done is; ”this must be one of the weirdest requests I’ve gotten; an interview at the same time!”
So this is a first, giving an interview while working? ”Yes, I do not get asked to do an interview that often. Though sometimes customers ask me so many questions that it almost feels like an interview! Other times they [the customers] talk about a lot of personal stuff, how they feel, about their relationships... But I like talking. People get into this emotional state of sharing and talking while getting tattooed, it feels like a therapy session. I like it. It’s some sort of a ritual.”

Badi Assad I sit in the back on the far left side from the stage by a small round table with a candle light next to me. Around me are people eating pizzas and sushi and other foods they’ve brought with them to the Victoria picnic consert. It smells weird, and it smells of food. Badi steps out onto the dark stage and sits down on an empty chair with her futuristic guitar in her lap. She smiles and says hello, then she starts playing. Soft and slowly plucking the strings of her guitar. Her feet are tapping the floor like the beat of a basedrum and while she sing she simultanously makes sounds with her mouth. If I close my eyes now I can imagine a big band on stage acomponing her, but she is all by herself filling the atmosphere of the theater with wonderful music. Inbetween the songs she talks to us, the audience, and tells us the story of her family, of her father and her brothers. Growing up in a house filled with music and her fathers approval of her brothers as they evolved as talented musicians. She tells us about the day she was fourteen years old and her father asked her if she wanted to play with him. Then she says she played not for the
music but for her father. Now all that has changed she says. Now she plays for the music and being on stage playing her songs. She talks about the dessert and where we all come from, Africa. The song was for her daughter. When she was born Badi was filled with so much emotion she had to write down her thoughts. When she saw what she had written about the desserts and the pyramids she realiezed her texts were about Africa, the place where all people originally come from, a place that connects us. Now she travels the world playing her songs everywhere. Back in Brazil she also plays her music for children. She says it’s wonderful when they join in and make their own sounds, but it can also be exhausting. Unfortunatly she can’t do the same thing for children when traveling, because the children won’t understand what she is singing. Eric Takman
MAHSKARA REVIEWS Sameblod As a collaboration between Feministiskt Initiativ (a Swedish feminist party shortened in “F!”) and one of many hidden Malmö’s promoters of popular culture as well as no-stream movie diffuser, the film Sameblod was shown at cinema Panora on Sunday the 29th of October. Welcoming almost 200 people, minority rights defenders and feminist party members presented and then discussed the well rated film by Amanda Kemell. Among the others, Carmen Blanco Valer, the party’s indigenous political spokesperson, introduced the film to the audience, putting focus on the regain of those rights which have been forbidden during decades. Sameblod is about a young Sami girl who leaves everything familiar to escape an age of discrimination, with the hope of finding a welcoming society. Looking back, she realizes how all that she had forcedly experienced had become a luggage hard to bear when meeting her original people again after years. From being able to witness how her life and family routines looked like during her childhood in Lapland, one has the chance to follow her as she enters a Sami boarding school, where children were expected to only speak Swedish, followed by the harsh biological experiments of that time on undefended children. From the north of Sweden down to Uppsala, Ella Marja starts a
journey which given her background and age is something dangerous and seemingly out of place. There, after many tough experiences, she puts the ground for a brand new life, where Swedish is her new main language and experiences of discrimination because of her being Sami, put her more and more on the way of denying her identity. Her future as a reindeer breeder is now memory of the past. Themes such as courage, being a woman on both an individual level but also within family and through sisterhood, and acceptance of oneself, are brought up connected to the importance of defending one’s own identity and belonging. A two hours long flashback from her childhood could feel too short a story for someone, but it was probably thought by the director, of Sami origin herself, as a way to catch the audience and get them interested in reaching for some more insights of the issue of the Sami minority. The interest for this film was generally observed also among the Malmö community, which, be it for the energy of the artistic presence or the ethnical flourish of the city, is an issue close to the heart of Malmö’s inhabitants.
