The Cultural Powerhouse: Malin Ackermann's Impact in Lycksele

First, she saved state jobs in Lycksele. Then, she opened her own cultural center. Bookseller Malin Ackermann's Sommar i P1 is a tale of great achievements that only a Swedish cultural enthusiast can accomplish.

Yes, I am captivated by Ackermann. I am impressed by how she perseveres, fights for depopulated areas, and creates spaces for culture, debate, and meetings.

It may sound a bit cheerful, sometimes a tad simplistic, as if the former Center Party leader Maud Olofsson had a culturally inclined younger sister in spirit, but so what? How will anything get done if you don't get moving and keep your spirits up?

Ackermann's summer talk is a feel-good film, a report in Icakuriren where the heroine receives a cancer diagnosis that forces her to reevaluate life.

Ackermann then chooses to devote herself to what makes her "soul sing." Thus, she becomes the bookseller in Lycksele.

Her green bookshelves in Lycksele provide stability in a community where the public sector is retreating. Without cultural enthusiasts, we cannot manage.
