This is an explorative project which aims to initiate debate about Norwegian oil exploration and production in Northern Norway through the use of discursive objects. The target group is young men.
The final proposal is a table for discussion placed in bars. The table will function as catalyst for dialog about climate change and Arctic oil exploration. The future is not something that just happens to us, like we were castaways washed upon a foreign shore. We are the future, and to be able to create the future we want together, we need to discuss it.
How can we perceive cultural landscapes? Reindeer represents ‘landscape’, and this project spreads facts about reindeer through images, words, and a space.
Reindeer in the North are herded by minority groups.
The reindeer in the South is known as Rudolph by many.
The minority is always conquered by the majority.
