Featured Story
Wind, Sand & Stars by Linda Bournane Engelberth
I am a Norwegian/Algerian artist raised in Norway by my Norwegian mother, never knowing my Algerian father and his family. I have always been curious about my other country of origin. As a teenager, I finally made contact with my father, and more recently, my wider family in Algeria. When my Berber grandmother turned 100, she wrote me a letter so that I wouldn’t forget about my father’s homeland. This project is an attempt to research my own identity as a Western woman investigating this foreignness that makes up half of my bloodline.
