Description

Joakim Lilljegren is a librarian and translator between Nordic languages. He has a special interest in connections between the Nordic countries and the Basque Country, for example the Basque-influenced pidgin language documented in Icelandic glossaries from the 17th century, and the many pintxo bars that recently have popped up all over Scandinavia. He also has a great interest in mural art and runs the blog basquemurals.wordpress.com, where the Basque Country is described through its wall paintings.
