TRAVELERS & MEDIATORS Azores, 2023
As part of our ongoing project AKWANAUTØYNA, DE JENZ journeyed to the Azores -another archipelago. Here we developed a prototype for TRAVELERS & MEDIATORS that explores who and what belongs or is native/invasive from different perspectives, both biological and human - over time. |
Since 2021, DE JENZ is based on Nautøy, Norway's most western settlement with only 10 inhabitants in an island municipality of 768 people. While there is a flux of visitors, the population of this former fishing community is shrinking. In the 1980's Canadian Sitka Pine were planted to provide shelter on the stormy coast. The seedlings have since developed into dense forests and inhabitants talk about how this invasive species disrupts the cultural landscape. As newcomers we are intrigued to explore further what makes something or somebody endemic or native to a place and who and what belongs.
