Genom arbete i arbete

Genom arbete i arbete

A sculpture group by Sam Westerholm, commemorating those who fought for bread, justice, and freedom.

The sculpture group 'Genom arbete i arbete' was created by Sam Westerholm. It was unveiled in September 1986 by Stig Malm in connection with a Nordic labor conference.

The sculpture depicts two women and one man with a flag. A plate has the inscription: 'In memory of those who fought for bread, justice, and freedom. What they won we have inherited.'

On a granite plinth, there are three reliefs with motifs of August Palm speaking in Haga in 1882, the food riots in 1917, and the evictions of tenants in Olskroken in 1936.
