Jiennagoahti – an artwork dedicated to listening in the Bergen mountains is an art project initiated by Elin Már Øyen Vister in dialogue with Joar Nango. The artists' idea and wish is for Jiennagoahti to be a unique space for listening to Sami sound art, experimental music, poetry, literature, and music. The location on Torrfjellet, Fløyen is a reminder of how nature's intrinsic value is linked to cultural identity, history and a place for stories and tales of journeys and exchanges that have taken place for centuries between Bergen and Sápmi.
Jiennagoahti – An artwork dedicated to listening in the Bergen mountains is a two-year collaboration with Bymiljøetaten of City of Bergen. The project is supported by KORO – Art in Public Space, Bergen City Council, Vestland County, Sámediggi, and Arts Council Norway. Up towards the opening in February 2023, Lydgalleriet functioned as producers for the project.
Jiennagoahti can be booked for public visits through a trust-based booking system, contact booking{at}jiennagoahti.art for reservations.
