Jérémie McGowan and Amund Sjølie Sveen will talk about their work and the project Real. Arctic.

McGowan is a designer, artist and punk rock bass player based in Romsa/Tromsø, Sápmi/Norway. He makes “things”, ranging from objects to ideas, provocations and, even, museums. Originally from Wilmington, NC, USA, he exhibits, curates and teaches internationally.

Sveen is a North-Norwegian artist, writer and researcher, and the artistic and political director of NORDTING. His work has for many years focused on the narratives and power struggles of the North as a starting point for investigating both local and international political questions in our globalized world of market economy.
