You are invited to join the first fjord journey with the Literature Boat Epos to the Textile Industry Museum in Salhus, where we encounter Jakkai Siributr’s long-running textile project There’s no place for which former textile workers of Salhus and different community members are gathering in two embroidery workshops, adding new layers of experiences, stories, and labour.
Passengers can also experience the audio work Along the currents — an ocean of voices by Elin Már Øyen Vister and collaborators installed on the boat, and experience Elsebet Rahlff’s flags work All we are saying… on the aft deck, as well as seeing Philip Rizk’s video installation Land Listening during the tour.
