The cultural municipality year is nearing its end and Storuman has gained a lot during the autumn and parts of the winter. But Gunilla Pettersson, who is responsible for culture at the municipality and Duncan Kemp at the Academy of Culture, still feels some grief over spring that has been.
- It was good as long as it lasted, but we had big plans both during the cultural municipal year but also after. We had intended to create new meeting places and businesses. An increased investment in culture. But it disappeared on the road, Gunilla Pettersson tells SVT ..
Now they leave the baton to Robertsfors municipality. There you keep your thumbs that it will settle.
- We are planning for the inauguration on the 12th of September and hope that the corona pandemic will take a step back so that we can fill the autumn with culture. Everything from performances, events and lectures. We feel sorry for Storuman who got parts of his year ruined. Would have been good if you could work out the time so that they could carry out their planned things a little later, says Åsa Lundström, who is cultural director at Robertsfors municipality.
