Let's Fika!





































It's exhibition time!

LET'S FIKA!
An exhibition celebrating the Swedish tradition of 'fika'

13 SEPTEMBER -14 OCTOBER
PRIVATE VIEW (CANAPE RECEPTION) 13 SEPTEMBER 4-6.30pm,
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC FROM 6.30-11pm.

Let's Fika is a visual celebration of the tradition of fika, showcasing six Swedish illustrators.

Fika is an essential part of life in Sweden. It's about relaxed socialising, taking a break from our hectic lives to catch up with friends (traditionally) over a cup of coffee. The word 'fika' can serve both as a verb and a noun and Swedes consider having coffee an important part of their culture. Since Fika is central to our everyday lives we have chosen to base out exhibition surrounding this tradition. Fika has such vast meaning and the work presented will reflect various interpretations of having fika.

Fika Bar & Kitchen is a restaurant on Brick Lane that embraces the tradition wholeheartedly. It is your home away from home, where lot's of lovely people come to eat, drink, relax in whatever way makes you happy. There could not be a better place to display the works surrounding the tradition 'fika'.
