Who was Hannah Ryggen?

Woman's Hour

Available for over a year

Hannah Ryggen was one of Scandinavia's most outstanding artistic figures of the 20th century. Her monumental tapestries reflect the politics of her time and in particular her opposition to the rise in fascism in the 1930s. Louise Adamson visits an exhibition of her work at Modern Art Oxford and hears from Norwegian art historian, Marit Paasche, and the exhibition's co-curator, Emma Ridgway.
