Step into an installation and screening space to discover Post-Capitalist Architecture TV<\/em> – a series of six conversational films created by Joar Nango and Ken Are Bongo.<\/p>\n

Joar Nango is an architect and artist whose work is rooted in Sápmi (the traditional Sámi territory covering the northern regions of Norway, Sweden, Finland and the Kola Peninsula in Russia). Through building, site-specific interventions, design collaborations, photography, publications and video, Nango’s work explores the role of Sámi and Indigenous architecture and craft in contemporary thought.<\/p>\n

In the six-episode TV series Post-Capitalist Architecture TV<\/em> (PCA-TV<\/em>), Joar Nango and Ken Are Bongo introduce Sápmi. Travelling through Arctic landscapes, they explore architecture at the scale of building techniques to the intangible power relationships that govern the land today. Among other themes, PCA-TV<\/em> is an ongoing study of architecture after capitalism. Guests range from researchers and craftspeople to artists and activists.<\/p>\n

First designed and built for Girjegumpi: The Sámi Architecture Library<\/em>1<\/a><\/span> presented in Venice, Italy, in 2023, the work addresses the relevance of Indigenous culture in architectural discourse and construction today. Expressing the importance of collaborative work, building techniques and use of resources in rapidly changing climate conditions, the installation highlights the architect’s position towards a more polyphonic understanding of the world.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n <\/div>\n
