8 people have written texts from the factory. It
started with Jonas Froberg’s writing school at Volvo Trucks in an Artist in
residence project in 2006. The writing process has continued since. Jonas
Froberg and fitter/writer Magnus Ostman are travelling to union meetings,
factories and theatre stages to read from the texts and discuss with the
audience.

Quotes from “Texts from the
factory”:
”Must be made up and pretty. At six in the
morning. Even though you don’t want to”
”If you can’t see your kids, you can
at least make some extra money to be able to give them things!”
”At the six metre line you have the factory
managers. Tuve and Torslanda.
”The way I see it my love for the kids is
eternal… but my kids’ love for me I have to earn… what if I
wont… it scares the hell out of me.”
”People need to open their hearts and tell their
stories. Good luck with your fine project!”
Swedish author Unni Drougge
