First of all I want to thank you both Helene and Jennie for helpful feedback and comments. I have been drowning in work, both inside and outside of school, and have not prioritized this project. As the deadline is slowly coming up, I feel more and more stressed...

From a distance, both in time and place and everyday duties, it feels like my experiences on Lesvos are banal. What have I gained from this study and this trip other than two fantastically nice weeks with many good people? What can I use these thoughts and experiences...

It has been almost a month since we parted in Lesvos. I can still clearly recall that we were having breakfast together under the fig tree, riding the squeaky bikes across the fields, sunbathing on the beach, playing with Fiorella, and singing on the balcony while...

The two weeks of summer school were very fruitful and intense for me. I would like to write a text describing the days in Kalloni, the interesting things that happened inside and outside of Metochi, the idea of my project and how it developed. I think that my text...

Over the past few weeks, partly due to my move from Greece, I have taken time and distance from the project (although I gathered some first reflections when I was in Lesvos).The video\film is not finished, although the screening and the feedbacks of the participants...

Right now, I feel that a sharpening of my work for the exam could to present these pictures that I drew in Lesvos, and not necesseraly make anything new. I am considering ways of maybe mixing the paintings I made with the pictures I took, in a digital way. I’m...

I have been thinking a lot about my project and the way I want to present it… I don’t have much time, but I want to revisit the project and refine it. I think most parts of it are completed -considering the limitations on my editing skills. I would also...

Project development: Net-work The last two weeks in Norway have been hectic and turbulent, so I have unfortunately not thought too much about the project. However, I was lucky that I got to take some notes on my reflections the last days at Metochi. In my text I want...

I have a memory of Life Jackets from my time in “videregående” (high school). I had a course called “Art, Design and Architecture” (translated) where we talked about art happening right now and taking inspiration or giving it thoughts so we would reflect...

I came to Lesvos in 2016, one year after the beginning of the so-called “refugee crisis”. Until then, I could not even point Lesvos on a map. Until I was 17-18 years old, I actually thought that this island was Chios. I knew its shape and location, but thought it was...

My relationship with Lesvos began almost simultaneously with the “refugee crisis”. In 2016, I was already living in Syros, working as a teacher, but I was going very often to Athens to meet my then boyfriend. There we met at the port of Piraeus at E1 and...

When I walk out my door, I don’t see signs of crisis. Nature seems to be thriving and my neighbors seem to be happy. I am dependent on others to gain more insight and information about the world. My neighbors share amazingly delicious food and heartbreaking stories....

When I signed up for this vourse, I had absolutely no idea of what Lesbos was. I had never heard of the island before. As i told friends where I was going, though, some of them would joke about Lesbos being a lesbian place assuming that island is where the word...

During my master’s thesis, on artistic creation related to migration, I dealt with migration-related themes and especially the imaginary conveyed by migration-related narratives. My focus shifted in particular from a construction of the self within institutional...

I believe that human beings heavily rely on their five senses—sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch—to experience the outside world. The ways we give life meaning are through our senses. For many people, sight is the primary means of exploration. Such...
