In November 2018 the Creative Centre for Fluid Territories (CCFT) in collaboration with the Faculty of Fine Art, Music and Design, Bergen, and the North Sea Maritime Museum, Telavåg , organised and hosted a colloquium, fieldwork and exhibition exploring questions of place-identity in relation to the particular context and history of Telavåg, Norway. This was the second part of a planned ongoing series of Nomadic Dialogues begun in Cyprus.)

Telavåg is a small coastal village, 25 miles south west of Bergen, where in 1942, during World War II, it was the scene of the Telavåg Tragedy when German soldiers, in reprisal for the death of two prominent Gestapo officers, erased the village. All the men in the village were either executed or sent to the concentration camp at Sachsenhausen. The women and children were imprisoned for two years in the Hardanger Fjord region.

The associated colloquium included contributions from CCFT members as well as from invited international guest speakers: Professor of Comparative Politics, Hakan Gurcan Sicakkan, composer Daniel Peter Biro and performing artist and designer from Macedonia Marija Miloshevska.

Staff and students from the Faculty of Fine Art, Music and Design, Bergen alongside CCFT members undertook fieldwork in Telavåg and its surrounding landscape which culminated in an exhibition and presentation of research, artworks, texts and performances on 16th November (Gallery 61, Faculty of Fine Art, Bergen).
