On 17 June art and design researchers from the Arctic Sustainable Arts and Design network (ASAD) will present work in a pop-up exhibition format in the Project Studio at Umeå Institute of Design from 13.00 – 15.00. Followed by fika and conversation on Teaching Art in the Arctic for university art tutors, led by Lisa Nyberg, Artist and Associate Professor at Umeå Academy of Fine Arts, 15.30-17.00.
The session will take the form of an open, interactive space designed for informal encounters, dialogue, and shared reflection on the micro-changes initiated by participatory and community-driven and art and design research, and art and design education research. The event aims to highlight how research through art and design can generate situated, embodied, and relational understandings of the North. Artists and designers participating in this event will be selected based on a call through the network.
