Kven project

I have been chosen as Norwegian representative in Kven project. Kven are Finnish immigrants that came to Northern Norway in the 18th and 19th century. They kept some of the original language from that time and culture. I will be working with embroidery in this project. The goal is to promote Kven culture and identity. The project is a collaboration between Varanger museum and museum in Rovaniemi.

I will be staying in one month residency in Vadsø in march 2017.
