Riksantikvarieämbetet ska producera handsprit till vården

Riksantikvarieämbetets kulturvårdslaboratorium i Visby ska börja tillverka handsprit till vården, rapporterar Sveriges Radios P4 Gotland.

-Vi har ett välutrustat laboratorium i Visby som vi efter kontakt med Region Gotland har ställt till förfogande. Regionen har meddelat att det finns ett behov av handsprit – så nu kommer vi så fort det går börja producera för leverans, säger riksantikvarie Lars Amréus till radion.

10–15 personer från myndigheten kommer att arbeta med tillverkningen, dessutom ställs ytterligare personal till förfogande för Länsstyrelsen och Region Gotland.

-Det är informatörer och registratorer som är beredda att rycka in om läget förvärras och stötta upp krisorganisationen på ön, säger Amréus.

After a week with artist, poet, beatboxer, and activist Napoleon Maddox in Växjö, hosted by the Center for Applied Heritage at LNU, we are all inspired.
Maddox presented his work as an artist and activist in a lecture at LNU, performed for and taught the students at Katedralskolan in Växjö, and participated in a discussion with Dr Hannah Cobb from Newcastle University on the heritage of slavery and the importance of history and heritage in the building of sustainable communities.
Watch the film embedded in this article for an introduction to his work, building on cultural heritage and family history and addressing contemporary social issues:
