About Arctic Forum 2023
In November 2023, the Arctic Centre at Umeå University hosted the Arctic Forum 2023, which had a different and innovative approach comparing to previous years. Instead of a common conference with speakers and audience, the Arctic Centre invited researchers, municipality, decision-makers, and stakeholders to the art exhibition “Down North”, held at the Art Museum Bildmuseet in Umeå. The attendees where guided through the exhibition by curators, and got to discuss Arctic issues through the artworks.
The Arctic Forum 2023 was hosted together with Bildmuseet, Várdduo – Centre for Sámi Research, and Luleå University of Technology.
