Swedish Handbag Protest



Swedish artist Susanna Arwin created a statue inspired by a 1985 photograph of a woman swinging her handbag at a Nazi supporter.







The statue was scheduled to be installed at the main square in Växjö, Sweden until the council’s culture committee changed their decision, claiming the statue promoted violence. However it appears that many Swedes disagree with the council's decision and are placing handbags on statues across Sweden in protest.







Such a peaceful and creative way to express an opinion!
