Join artist-in-residence Cléa Darnaud for an evening of storytelling through drawing! This hands-on workshop introduces simple drawing techniques to help you create a short visual narrative, which can then be turned into a zine.

Dette arrangementet vil utforske de skiftende maktdynamikkene i Arktis, med fokus på USAs interesse for Grønland, Kinas økende ambisjoner i regionen og Russlands militære handlinger. Er vi på vei inn i en ny æra av stormaktskonfrontasjon, og hvordan passer Svalbard inn i dette?

Join artists Kirsty Banks and Marieke ten Berge for a hands-on printmaking workshop at Artica Svalbard. This session introduces two exciting techniques—dry needle etching on tetra packs and mono-printing with various materials. These accessible and versatile methods allow for playful experimentation, and the results will certainly surprise you!

Verden er i dramatisk endring. Russisk aggresjon, hybride trusler og angrep endrer spillereglene for internasjonale konflikter. Samtidig kan det virke som om gamle allianser svekkes.

Med hvert sitt foredrag basert på sine nyeste bøker belyser Bård Wormdal og Trine Hamran noen av utfordringene vi står ovenfor. Arrangementet avsluttes med en samtale ledet av Svalbardposten og Line Nagell Ylvisåker.

As we celebrate the return of the sun during Solfestuka, we also welcome back Svalbard’s birds! Join us for a creative workshop inspired by the snow bunting—one of the Arctic’s most resilient travellers.

Its the final Art Club of the season. Bring along your own arts and crafts projects to work on in our open studio, share skills, be inspired by others or have a go at one of the provided activities, such as watercolour, drawing or collage. 

Denne kvelden vil Siri Helle fortelle og lese fra hennes opplevelse av å skape seg et hjem, og hva som var viktig for ho: å aktivt kunne forme og påvirke natur og samfunn rundt seg. Gjennom høsting, dyrking, bygging – og politikk. Men vi vil også invitere til dialog og diskusjon: Hva skal til for å kjenne seg hjemme her – i Longeyarbyen, på Svalbard, i dag og i morgen?

Unwind after your workday and join us for a cozy and inspiring Friday afternoon that blends live music, thought-provoking ideas, and a delicious bowl of soup to warm your soul. Festival’s artist and composer Missy Mazzoli (USA) will guide us through a selection of her written works, which are performed live by some of the festival artists, and finest performers from Voksenåsen Academy.
