Teach me something focuses on sharing local and Nordic knowledge between generations. The process reflects on generating knowledge and experience passed on from our older generations. How do we use and reflect on the common know-ledge and become open to new knowledge? A dialogue is created when making things together translates into understanding. The installation shows how northern Finnish culture translates to Iceland.
Selecting the form of a narrative enabled me to grasp the possibilities of meaning, which is what gives this work and life in general its imaginative and poetic qualities. It thus gives the viewers space for interpretation and the potential to connect to their own experience of sharing knowledge.
