Swedish (hot) Dads

A unique event takes place these days in Sibiu. The Embassy of Sweden brings the exhibition “Swedish Dads”. Its opening takes place today at 18:00 at the Astra Museum in Sibiu and it will be open to the public until November 5th, 2017. The exhibition tells the story of the fathers who, in Sweden, are increasingly choosing to go on a paternal leave and take care of raising their children. The photographs show how Swedish fathers perceive the role of the modern man, in contrast to the role of the traditional, paternal stereotype.  When Swedish photographer Johan Bävman became a father, he realised there was a lack of male models to represent a parent model. This led him to create a photo album called the Swedish Dads, which shows 20 Swedish fathers on paternal leave, along with their children.
