Who
is Erling Söderström?
My life has been
chaotic, privileged, creative, dangerous, cosmopolitan, problematic,
inspiring, peaceful, traumatic, changing, rich and joyful.
Here you can see
some of my work, and if you are curious to know me, you can read the
story of my life behind the scenes.
Our human diversity
is so immensely rich. To me the different cultures I have met in more
than 80 countries are a constant source of discovery, inspiration,
preoccupation and involvement.
We learn about
ourselves by understanding our neighbours. If
some of these works can spark new thoughts or ideas in you I am more
than happy with this virtual communication.
Your friend,
Erling

I
was long-haired
and 19 years old 1971 in Zimbabwe as I participated in organising
protest demonstrations, printing and and spreading illegal
leaflets against apartheid.
Some
friends were murdered and I was deported by order of the white
minority government.
That
was the beginning of a life-long involvement for human rights.
