The focus<\/strong> of the works is diverse; Sami duodji, nature, colours, culture, daily life, memories, with some requiring direct participation of the audience. The exhibiting artists and designers explore the boundaries and bridges between art and traditional crafts. Arts, crafts and design are strongly intertwined in our daily lives. Thus, we are not always aware of their presence and influence on us.<\/p>\n

This exhibition shows how contemporary art and design<\/strong> converges with traditional crafts. The artworks embrace traditional knowledge and practices and consider the balance between aesthetic and function where old traditions have acquired new content. Techniques and traditions are transformed through the use of a variety of materials; trying them in a new context, preserving yet altering earlier knowledge. The curator is \u00c1sthildur J\u00f3nsd\u00f3ttir, assistant professor at the Iceland Academy of the Arts.<\/p>\n

Symposiums and workshops will be organised in conjunction with the exhibition. The project is funded by the Nordic Culture Fund, and part of Arctic Sustainable Arts and Design network in the University of Arctic.<\/p>\n
