The importance of the action
The situation in Mälaren reflects global water pollution issues. Studies have shown the pervasive effects of microplastics on marine life, with disturbing reports of these plastics now detected in human bodies—even in developing fetuses. By 2050, it is projected there could be more plastic than fish in our oceans. In light of this, Christeseva confronts a critical question: How do we unite communities to combat this escalating crisis through creative and cultural practices?
In Fall 2024, Ludmila Christeseva joined the Intercult: Turning the Tide (TTT) artist residency program with the Jätterena Mälaren project. She followed the important work of local divers cleaning the lakes and explored the impact of environmental contamination on Mälaren, one of Sweden’s most vital sources of drinking water.
