Where do we find the borders of the Arctic? What characterizes those who call the Arctic their home? Is their work always inherently influenced by this connection to a Nordic home? The group exhibition delves into these questions, presenting work by artists from the far-reaching North. Exhibiting artists include Gunnar J\u00f3nsson, Anders Sunna, M\u00e1ret \u00c1nne Sara, Inuuteq Storch, Nicholas Galanin, Dunya Zakha, Marja Helander, and Maureen Gruben.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s\">The homes of the participating artists include the Sami regions of Finland, Norway and Sweden, Iceland, Greenland, Siberia, Alaska, and Canada. The exhibition focuses on the experience of living in the far North, which communal and connective aspects can be found within artists who call the Arctic their home? Expanding the reach from Alaska to Siberia and Scandinavia in between, these vastly different cultures and communities share this one common thread: the Arctic, the North.<\/div>\n<div class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s\">The exhibition was on view in Akureyri Art Museum in 2024 and is now exhibited in the Nordic House Reykjav\u00edk in a slightly modified form.
