Together with the Culture School in Bergen and the residents in Solheimslien Housing Cooperative, we sat a goal to make an image of this Cooperative of 320 apartments, before it was going through major renovations.
15 adolescents did home visits to residents, and based on the visits, they drew, made films and wrote texts, which was then exhibited in two of the garages of the Cooperative. The youngsters also left drawings, texts and postcards with the residents.
