THE PROJECT

In Your Shoes/ I dine sko was launched as a tri-lingual fictional writing competition, announced in India and Norway.

The participants were invited to write texts about “the other place”; Norway and India respectively. The aim was to explore the cultural perceptions and imaginations we have of each other.

The project also had an academic component, and resulted in the thesis “In Your Shoes - Bilder av og møter med den andre”
