More information
Mia Green föddes 1870 i Uppland men kom via Skellefteå till Haparanda 1894. I Haparanda öppnade hon 1895 sin första fotoateljé. Senare upprättade hon även filialer i Kemi och på Seskarö. Hon var en välkänd profil i Haparanda och politiskt engagerad. Hon var även drivande i stadens sociala arbete och månade om samhällets utsatta. Green kom under åren att skapa Haparandas mest värdefulla bildsamling. Från 1895 till 1940 dokumenterade hon livet, vardag och fest i fred och krig i Tornedalen. I Haparanda finns en park och en offentlig skulptur rest 1988 till Greens minne.
