Joiking apprentices

The joiking apprentices

Joik: The joik is an art form of cultural expression unique for the Sami people. Reflecting a person or place the joik attempts to transfer the essence of the subject into song without necessarily singing directly about the subject.

The teacher: Ande Sombe. traditional Sami joik artist and an associate professor at the Faculty of Law at the University of Tromsø.

The Course: One week DAV course as part of the Emerging Arctic Landscapes master course at Bergen Arkitekt Skole.

The lavo was placed on the dock at school, a place that many of us had known for several years, but not like this.
Ande began to joik. The rhythm and history transcended into our consciousness bringing forth the ability to touch a culture ingrained into the soil.
Sitting in a circle looking into the flames of the campfire we were transported to various plains in the north, non were sitting in Bergen.

Welcome

Dear students:


We are very happy that you have chosen this studio about the coming and vanishing arctic... and the prosperity and challenges in this - seemingly immense and dispersed region. Arguably the Arctic has the same significance for the future well being of the globe, as other more emphasized global regions such as the Amazon. The limelight is on in the high north, and we want architects and landscape architects to be aware and prepared for a future, expected exploitation that might transform the Arctic in a way that will challenge our existence beyond the limitations of the territory..
