SAFARKAYGA
2022

HD video, 36 minutes.

A road movie about the multicultural history of Eastern Finnmark and Finnish Lapland, with my narration in broken Somali. Tracing a 745 kilometer long journey through this region, the video explores the different minorities, predominantly Kven and Sami, that have historically inhabited the area. The story is very much told from my own ethnic Norwegian point of view, but does so in the language of one of my country’s more recent minorities; the Somalis.
