From the autumn of 2016 until spring 2020 a collaborative partnership has been established with youths from 16 to 19 years, a cross professional team at NTM, an external museum researcher from Oslo Met, university students and children aged 10-13. All in all, 22 people have been involved in this qualitative study of a co-design process.
The first series of co-design workshops led to the production of a sound-based installation, The Sound of FOLK as part of the FOLK exhibition.
This co-design research project is closely connected to the temporary exhibition; FOLK from racial types to DNA sequences (2018-19).
