Farsta is a project about stigma, fear and trying to stear clear from stereotypes. I moved to Farsta 2 years ago. It is always about shootings, bombings and stereotypes of ghetto kids . All of these thing happen and are real. When moving to Farsta I was also influenced by what I`ve been reading, so I was actually scared sometimes walking home late from work. When I get to a new town, on holiday or moving to a new area and I don`t feel safe I usually walk around at night making it my space. I quickly realised that for me to be able to live in Farsta I needed it to be my Ghetto as well.
