Post Capitalistic Architecture with Joar Nango+info
04 may ➔ 18h30
Joar Nango, a Sámi architect and visual artist from Northern Norway, will present "The Post Capitalistic Architecture TV-SHOW”, an art project and ongoing study of architecture after the fall of capitalism, done in collaboration with his cousin and filmmaker Ken-Are Bongo.
In "PCA-TV", we are introduced to the artist's home and local environment in Sápmi, the traditional homelands of Europe's northernmost indigenous group. For the series, Nango and Bongo travel through the Arctic landscape in a mobile TV studio built in an old red van and explore everything from vernacular building techniques to major political power structures that form the basis of the built environment in the North. They meet with many guests - academic researchers, craftsmen, lawyers, artists, herders, and activists, over a campfire coffee cup in the car or zoom conversations projected on the halibut stomach screen mounted in the studio.
In the seminar at vaga, Joar Nango will share a few snippets from the Tv-series and introduce some of the main artistic reflections the project deals with.
