This is a powerful and timely exhibition that explores the past,present, and future of the circumpolar north through the creative and curatorial vision of leading artists in S\u00e1pmi, Canada, and Alaska. The work in Arctic Highways connects Indigenous communities and reimagines artificial political borders according to the lines of geography and climate to explore shared socio-economic history and environmental issues. This exhibition illustrates the four core values-openness, social justice, sustainability, and innovation-that guide all that we do at the National Nordic Museum.<\/p>\n

Virtual Talk, The Arctic in Literature with Dr Andy Meyer, October 24, 11am - 12pm Pacific <\/strong>
\n\u00a0<\/strong>
\nThe Arctic is a region that challenges definitions. Despite the picture of a harsh wasteland of ice and snow imagined by many temperate outsiders, it is home to a diverse group of peoples, both Indigenous and settler-colonialist. All of these people-and, it turns out, plenty of outsiders-tell stories, write poems, sing songs, and create images of the Arctic. But what can these stories really tell us about it? In this talk, we will discuss some of those stories, looking for what they might have in common and how they differ, in order to address the question of what literature can tell us about what the Arctic is, and, perhaps, what it isn't.<\/p>\n
