"Juvik People of Today" is an ongoing art and social anthropology project that looks at the island community of Jøa in Ytre Namdal. As immigrants, we want to document the diversity of the local community and capture moments and stories through analog portraits and video interviews.

The project draws a parallel to Olav Duun, one of the most outstanding authors in Norwegian literature, and his main work and novel series "Juvikfolket" which deals with four generations of a farming family. Among other things, the book series describes transitions and changes in rural society.

In this story, Duun has drawn inspiration from his childhood home of Jøa and the surrounding area, both from the beautiful and wild nature and the local community.

In 2023, the 100th anniversary of the publication of the last volume of Juvikfolket, this project will document the lives of today's residents of Jøa through visual forms and provide insight into their interests, values, community involvement and their personal relationship with Jøa as their home. Beyond that, the project explores changes in the local community in the context of current trends including centralization policies and climate change.
