Art camp: Tensta’s archaeology

George Chamoun: george@tenstakonsthall.se

Konstkollot invites young people to participate in the discovery of Tensta through walks and observations, by collecting found things, materials and images, as well as interviews with people they meet along the way. Based on the walking experiences, we create podcasts, maps and a collection of objects that constitute archeology in Tensta that is important for young people. Based on our findings, we speculate on Tensta’s future. In addition to the podcast, we create a map of Tensta on the classroom floor with markings in the places we think are important.
