The exhibition showcases Girjegumpi, an itinerant collective library project initiated by architect and artist Joar Nango. For over fifteen years, Joar Nango has been assembling an archive of books and materials exploring Indigenous Sámi architecture and design, traditional building knowledge, activism, and decoloniality. The Girjegumpi is mainly an archive that gathers and shares its growing collection of over 500 rare titles and contemporary books.
