Frida att the University of Alberta campus. The buildings are mostly made of red bricks, which instantly makes me feel at home (seeing as I grew up in Skarpnäck, the red brick suburb of southern Stockholm), but due to the abundance of trees, it’s more or less impossible to get a clear shot of any of them. Annoying for the architecture loving photographer in me, but for the ordinary visitor really adding to the coziness of the place. The red dresses are part of an art project trying to increase the awareness of the abuse of women in the aboriginal community in Alberta.
By the university metro station, they provide these four free newspapers. One of them is Metro, our Swedish media export.
They have feminist street artists in Edmonton too.
The U of A campus isn’t only populated by students. There are also loads of rabbits and squirrels jumping around. This cute thing, still wearing its winter coat, feels like a much nicer campus inhabitant than the rats that run around the Geoscience building at Stockholm University.
