On January 7, 2005, Oury Jalloh, an asylum seeker from Sierra Leone, died in a German police cell as a result of a fire. The police version of the case states that it was probably an accident caused by the detainee himself, or suicide, in connection with the ignition of a mattress made of non-flammable material to which Oury Jalloh was handcuffed and shackled.
In the heart of Madrid a ravaged forest lays calm in the aftermath of the storm. Shepherds, sheep and dogs roam among the branches of uprooted trees. Above them, the city resounds with birdsong and underneath we hear the murmurs of the herd. Old walls, new barriers enclose this territory. At night its borders dissolve on the hilltop. Under a black sky the contours of its inhabitants emerge. The land rings out and the city glimmers. 
Artist Sissel Mutale Bergh describes her latest film, Elmie (2023) – a Southern Sámi word meaning sky, air and storm – as a documentary poem and a lamentation on air, breath, birds, mountains and wind power. For several years, Bergh has followed the construction of – and opposition to – industrial windfarms at Fovsen/Fosen in the southern district of reindeer herding at ÅerjelFovsen Njaarke Sijte.

Another part in NJME series focuses on question why some people found their own museums and how do they see their purpose. How does the future of a private museum look like and how does this museum differ from those financed by the state? How is this form of institution liberating and, on the other hand, what are its limits?
Sex, Sickness and Videotape’ is a tribute to video as a medium which empowered women to make and break the rules of self-image, instead of reproducing the images that had been handed to them. Similar to Vanalyne Green’s engagement with video, the artists and writers who contributed to this project deconstruct and rebuild their practice in the response to challenges and possibilities of the current technologically mediated society.
