Gieđa dievva ullut / En neve ull / A Handful of Wool is a participatory cartographic tapestry about Trastad, a former residential facility for people with special needs in Sápmi (Northern Norway). Today, many of the pavilions lay vacant. Bringing together past and present inhabitants, it weaves memories and future desires for the area.
