Let's Fika! showcases the work of six Swedish illustrators, several of whom have worked for Amelia's Magazine. It will be a visual celebration of the tradition of Fika, which is an essential part of life in Sweden. It's about relaxed socialising, taking a break from hectic lives to catch up with friends (traditionally) over a cup of coffee. The word “fika” can serve both as a verb and a noun and Swedes consider having coffee an important part of their culture. Fika has such a vast meaning and the work presented will reflect various interpretations of having a fika.
