SWEA – the Swedish Women’s Educational Association – was founded by Agneta Nilsson in 1979. The organisation is a network for Swedish Women currently or previously active abroad. One of SWEA’s purposes is to help spread the Swedish language and Swedish culture in the world. In this portrait, Inger Hodgson emphasises the international character of the organisation by depicting Agneta Nilsson standing in front of a globe. She is placed in between Sweden and the USA, the two countries where both the model and the artist share their time and efforts.
