Who is Finnish?

Who is Finnish? is a text concept in three parts by Kristina Junttila. The first part is a short dramatic work based on interviews with Norwegians of Finnish descents and Finnish immigrants to Northern Norway. The second part is a theoretical introduction about multilingualism. The third part is Junttila's own story about being bilingual.

The original title in Norwegian is Kven er finsk. This is a wordplay: The word "kven" is both New Norwegian for "who" and a Norwegian word for being a Norwegian of Finnish descent.
