Hyderabad: The Embassy of Sweden in cooperation with the Jawaharlal Nehru Architecture and Fine Arts University (JNAFAU), inaugurated the Ung Svensk Form design exhibition, here on Wednesday.

The exhibition which is based on the themes sustainability, innovation and circular economy, was inaugurated by the Mohammad Mahmood Ali, Deputy Chief Minister of Telangana, Ambassador of Sweden to India Klas Molin and the V-C of JNAFAU Prof Dr N Kavita Daryani Rao.

Young Swedish Design is a juried award and a traveling exhibition which intends to broaden and deepen knowledge about young and innovative Swedish design. From images, to products, recycled goods and unisex fashion dealing with migrant crisis – the exhibition displays 19 state of the art design examples. Apart from this, sustainable and innovative designs by students from JNAFAU and NIFT are also being showcased.

Mohammad Mahmood Ali said; “Telangana has a rich cultural heritage and is home to various art forms. Such varied expressions of design from time immemorial have been enriching the quality of our lives.

In the modern era, issues of sustainability and circular economy lend another dimension to design and make it more meaningful. We are therefore very happy to host this exhibition organized by the embassy of Sweden which aims to give a platform to the young designers not only from Sweden but also to our local Hyderabad students.

I hope this exhibition gets a wide audience and marks the beginning of many more such collaborations between Sweden and Telangana in the future.

Prof Dr N Kavita Daryani Rao said, India draws its strength and unique position in the world in no small measure from its vast storehouse of traditional knowledge. The varied forms of art and craft, building technology, textiles, medicine are all deeply rooted in the use of local, natural and indigenous materials.
