Document content

Sonja Ferlov Mancoba writes to Niels Ferlov about her relationship with her surroundings and society. She connects thoughts to having chosen not to live in the most conventional way and how the larger perspective of living in accordance with one's life's core weaves itself into the fibers of everyday life for better or worse. In this, she also notes participating in a society of which she is a part and co-responsible for, but which is not as she wishes it to be.
