Tensta Museum on the Move is an extension of the exhibition Tensta Museum: Reports from New Sweden, which takes place at Tensta konsthall, Stockholm, 26 October 2013–18 May 2014. Tensta Museum is about history and memory in Tensta, a suburb of Stockholm dominated by a large late-modernist housing estate, both in relation to the place and to the people who live and work there. Some forty artists, architects, local associations, performers, sociologists, cultural geographers, philosophers, and other practitioners address the past in artworks, research projects, seminars, and guided walks.

In Zagreb, eight contributors to the exhibition at Tensta konsthall present work from, or related to, the larger version of Tensta Museum. At the same time, the participants in Tensta Museum report on the condition of Tensta today as a concrete image of what can be described as the New Sweden – a Sweden that must be understood very differently than it was several decades ago. This is a Sweden containing people of vastly different backgrounds, where economic and social divides are intensifying drastically.
