Båt 370 was Anna Björk’s first book, written in collaboration with Mattias Beijmo. It was published in 2017 and tells the story of a refugee boat in the Mediterranean Sea. The same year the authors participated in “I am Alive” at The national museum of science and technology in Stockholm. Their contribution consisted of a film and world unique visualization of refugee boats. The exhibition has since been shown in several places in Sweden and the rest of the world, for example at House of Sweden at the Swedish ambassy in Washington. For the visualization Annah Björk and Mattias Beijmo won “The Year’s Innovator” at MEG 2017.
