DesignMarch 2025: Re-Mapping the Arctic 


10:00-17:00
Auditorium
Welcome to the opening party of Re-Mapping the Arctic  in the Nordic House during Design March – 4th april, kl. 5pm – 7pm

Ten emerging designers engage with Icelandic and Arctic inhabited landscapes and seascapes, to create material experiments, speculative artefacts, media installations and activist design interventions in specific communities.
Re-Mapping the Arctic emphasises the complexity of Arctic systems – in which Iceland is entangled – through researched-based design: how will the significant role of the Arctic Ocean in future networks of resources and energy affect its ecology and inhabitants? Can Icelandic-based design practices pioneer regenerative ways of inhabiting these contested territories?

Work by MA design students. Vacuum packed fish.
Opening Hours:
Fri 4 Apr:17:00 – 19:00
Sat 5 Apr:10:00 – 17:00

The exhibition will take place at the Nordic House in the Elissa Auditorium, with satellite installation throughout the House and in the outside Pavilion area.
