Formats for people who
need to be in the field

One residency is confirmed and will run with five participants. The other formats are being developed with partners and are described here as they stand, not as we would like them to be.

Objective

To select participants transparently, with stated criteria and a stated deadline.

Who it is for

Artists, writers and researchers who can work within Arctic field conditions.

What is included

  • Published criteria
  • A stated deadline
  • A named contact for questions

What is not included

  • Rolling admission
Access in Svalbard is always conditional on weather, permissions, safety, logistics and capacity. This programme is planned around those limits rather than in spite of them.
Upcoming

Arctic as a Mirror
of Global Change

An interdisciplinary research residency in Svalbard bringing together five artists and writers around one shared subject: how two Svalbard settlements register change.

To place independent inquiries across the same Arctic landscape during the same field season, allowing image, sound, writing and observation to speak to one another rather than exist in isolation.
