'Girjegumpi: The Sámi Architecture Library' by Joar Nango and collaborators at the Nordic Countries Pavilion (18th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia)

For over fifteen years, architect and artist Joar Nango has been assembling an archive of books about issues relevant to Indigenous architecture. In 2018, Girjegumpi first opened to a public. In 2023, this structure, social space, and source of knowledge around Sámi architecture opens at the Nordic Countries Pavilion at the 18th International Architecture Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia, officially representing Finland (Arkkitehtuurimuseo, Helsinki), Norway (Nasjonalmuseum, Oslo), and Sweden (ArkDes, Stockholm).
