The work, which was first shown in Copenhagen in 2013, was extended in this second iteration with references to the Swedish suffrage movement and one of its key figures, Frigga Carlberg (1851–1925), a radical spokeswoman in the debate on gender equality who also had controversial links with the British suffragettes.
