Prosjekt

Designers from The South

In Uganda and Guatemala, design is an unestablished and young area.

Since 2003, designers and architects from the south have been given the opportunity to learn and practice the trade professionally through internships in Norwegian companies and organisations. The designers contribute with impulses and inspiration from their country's culture, traditions and experience.
