is a design project exploring the intersection between Icelandic and African diasporic cultures. The project serves as a re-evaluation of Nordic history, celebrating the diverse, beautiful communities in Iceland.
Hans’ story was never documented during his lifetime, and his legacy was reduced to folklore.
Djúpivogur, where he found refuge, was later mockingly referred to as “Little Congo”.
Presented is a collection of objects from contemporary Nordic societies, reimagined through the diasporic lens:
a chair, a cloak, a durag, and a comb.
