Rosengård, a district of Malmö, is part of the so-called Million Program, an extensive public housing program that was implemented in Sweden in the 1960s and 1970s. Today, many such housing estates, are often considered as "problem areas" and linked to Sweden's enduring struggles with gang-related crime, including Rosengård. This district is is home to 34,000 people and characterised by its great multicultural and ethnic diversity. With a predominantly Muslim population, Rosengård thrives on its youthful energy and has a higher proportion of young residents than Malmö as a whole, almost a third of whom are under the age of 18. The Swedish police classify Rosengård as an "especially vulnerable area", generally characterized by socio-economic challenges and a high presence of organized crime. Rosengård experiences a predominantly negative perception in large parts of Sweden and abroad.
Nora presents her personal perspective on a vibrant and diverse neighbourhood, focusing on personal encounters with its young residents. Her photographic narrative reveals empathetic the daily life and inner world of a bright generation navigating a landscape between ambitions and challenges, self-determination and prejudice. In this way, Nora's work challenges the one-sided representation of Rosengård and questions society‘s perception of this community.
