Poet Hanna Asefaw grew up in a municipal flat in Oslo with her Eritrean family in the late 90s. They lived in a council housing project for low-income families. When it was sold to a private investor the tenants were evicted.
Through an electrifying spoken word performance, she visits her childhood universe reimagined in miniature, and reflects on community, diversity and belonging - and the political indifference that broke it apart.
