Mapping the Twist 
Since 2020 we have been spinning threads between the local art worlds of the north, engaging in dialogues around both artistic and professional aspects of our practices. The project has solidified networks across borders and led to friendships that enrich not only the participating artists but the communities in which they are part. Read more about our journey HERE

From 2024 we are be disseminating results from the project through exhibitions, events, printed and online materials- presenting art from the southern Arctic within the larger art world. As part of this new stage of the project we are currently collaborating with curator Vasia Rigou. Our exhibition Lay of(f) the Land- Nordic Narratives, opened at the Swedish American Museum in Chicago in April 2024. It will travel to the Museum of Danish America Elk Horn Iowa USA (2025), the Ostrobothnian Museum in Vaasa Finland (2025) and Västerbottens Museum Umeå Sweden (2026). More stops may be added- please get in touch if your institution is interested in hosting us.
