    Afterhours Archive 613 | Artist Feature: Vargkvint: The Art of Being Human

    Originally published by Afterhours Archive 613. Vargkvint: The Art of Being Human Some stories deserve more than a passing listen. In this Artist Feature, we explore the creative world of Swedish artists Sofia Nystrand and Jakob Lindhagen, whose music and visual storytelling bring together nature, folklore, memory and the beauty of imperfection. From their individual artistic beginnings and evolving creative partnership to the atmospheric worlds of Månens Hav and Jorden kallar, this intimate portrait explores the people and stories behind the art. We also discover Sofia's stop-motion creations, handmade artwork, their appreciation for physical music, and the upcoming Organ Day gathering at Rönnells Antikvariat in Stockholm on October 16, 2026. Written, researched and interviewed by Michèle, founder of Afterhours Archive 613. Special thanks to Sofia Nystrand and Jakob Lindhagen for sharing their time and stories, and to Booker Willbreaker for introducing me to Vargkvint and contributing his time, care and creativity to this production. This audio edition is adapted from the original written Artist Feature and uses AI narration. The original interview recording remains private.
