I particularly like the local oldster with the cane attempting to flee from this objet d’art newly plopped in his town square, but clearly in slow motion, as in a nightmare. There should be a statue of him called “White Flight: You Can Run, But You Cannot Hide.”
http://www.unz.com/isteve/the-bronze-age-of-bronze-statues/ … In totally unrelated news, from today's NYT: "Sweden Was Long Seen as a ‘Moral Superpower.’ That May Be Changing." Why won’t all those angry, extremist Swedes listen to the wise, temperate advice of Somalis about for whom they should vote?pic.twitter.com/VTpniiHUJf
We have an update on the identity of the bronze statue featured in the Mölndal, Sweden newspaper: It's Pippi's adopted refugee sister Medusa Longstocking.pic.twitter.com/gbafZjk4QC
It's called "I hate you, now give me stuff".
You captured it probably better & more succinctly than I could.

kinda looks like she's holding a grenade
Socialist Realism still lives.
Not a bad rendering of socio-cultural cataclysm, frankly. Should be titled: "Want some of this m***********s?"
Look into my eyes. I am your monument now.
Mölndal in the current year... You can probably guess what happened from these two pictures, even without reading the linked story from which they are drawn http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3422605/The-town-destroyed-migration-week-murder-beautiful-young-social-worker-sent-shockwaves-Europe-MailOnline-shines-spotlight-Molndal.html …pic.twitter.com/vJCTEuRhh9
It’s not clear how anyone could be proud of this piece as it could easily be perceived as satirical with the Medusa hair, scornful hand gesture, and “flashing of the grill” oral derision.
In other words "an accurate depiction of the attitude and disposition of migrants".
This controversial statue in downtown San Jose, Cal., "Quetzalcoatl", was meant to "honor the city's Mexican-American heritage." I surmised that the artist's working title for the piece was "Montezuma's Revenge".https://www.kqed.org/news/11668265/the-serpent-statue-in-san-jose-that-people-think-is-something-else …
is this an anti-migrant statue? I can't tell anymore.
Do they have Uncle Tom's Cabin in Sweden?

I see that Sweden, in a show of European solidarity, has adopted the Dutch tradition of Zwarte Piet.pic.twitter.com/lmVKneHXXn
With the facial expression marked by a sullen sneer & gritted teeth + gesturing with balled fist & raised back of the hand, the artist skillfully captures the NewSwedish spirit of gratitude appreciation, cooperation & solidarity for OldSwedish hospitality welcoming NewSwedes.
