The work of art Come as you are! constitutes three parts:
The path, constructed of mosaic paving stones, which leads to the Riksdag.
The sculpture, which depicts the first five women in the Riksdag. Kerstin Hesselgren, Elisabeth Tamm, Nelly Thüring, Bertha Wellin and Agda Östlund. They are being carried forward by two young women from our day to show that the fight for democracy and equality continues into the future. The work connects the five pioneers with all future generations.
The book Rounds (in Swedish Rundor), which is a collaboration with the Riksdag’s cleaners, security guards and other employees. Through drawings, they have described their daily rounds at work. The book depicts how taking care of practical matters creates the preconditions for the work of the members of parliament and for democracy. The book is available to download.
