Joar Nango is an artist and architect based in Norway.

Artistic Practice

Nango works with site-specific installations and self-made publications. His work often relates to questions of Indigenous identity, and is based around the self-sufficiency and resourcefulness that is central to the Sámi way of living and creating on the land.

Projects have included the self-published zine series Sámi Huksendáidda: the Fanzine, the Sámi Shelters design project , and the Indigenuity Project , ,. Solo exhibitions by Nango have been presented at Gallery 44, (2016), Western Front Gallery, (2014) , Knipsu (2012) , and SDG (2011). Nango also writes as part of his practice, including his 2009 essay, “The Sami Building Tradition: A Complex Picture” for the publication Northern Experiments: The Barents Urban Survey (Oslo: 0047,2009)
