Unseen, unheard, untold. "Documents of absence" explores the philosophical terrain of people, stories, and issues that remain outside our daily consciousness.

This project seeks to resonate with the notion of overlooked communities. Those so often reduced to stereotypes of weakness, poverty, or fragmentation by the narrow lens we are conditioned to see through.

In reality, these individuals and groups possess extraordinary strength: the ability to endure daily hardship, to forge connections and resilience within impermanence.

The act of building and sustaining community under conditions of displacement is not a sign of lack, but a kind of superpower - one that those untouched by such adversity may never fully comprehend.

This is an invitation to stop and spend time with these overlooked stories. To make visible what has been obscured, and open the door to a different kind of conversation.

Through personal archives and video calls, he shares his love and longing for his hometown of Gaza, his friends, and his family, while trying to build a new life in the Arctic city of Tromsø.

We need your help to co-create a vibrant, joyful, and diverse village space.

We ask that all event attendees pledge to make participation in our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, location and status of residency, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.


We’d like to try a format we call an “ongoing community agreement” to give concrete examples of the vibe we’re going for. This format lists what we want more of, and what we do not welcome.
