Are you interested in meeting Longyearbyen’s creative community? Join us for the last First Friday Coffee Club of the year! We’ll celebrate the season with festive treats, good company, and inspiring conversation.

Artica Svalbard and Polar Jazz invite you to an evening of sound, science, and shifting ice. What does a glacier sound like as it calves, drips, fractures, and recedes? What can seismic pulses, melting rhythms, and underwater echoes tell us about a world in transformation? Glacier Lamentation asks us to listen differently—to hear climate change not as data or distance, but as vibration, resonance, and presence.

Artica Svalbard and the Arctic Chamber Music Festival invite you to an after-work concert and lecture exploring the violin’s evolving voice. From early traditions to contemporary expressions, we trace how the violin and its music have transformed across time. Live performances illuminate these shifts, while Artica resident Clara Arnaud threads in a story about change, perspective, and the ever-shifting realities of Svalbard.

Artica Svalbard inviterer til en åpen og aktuell samtale i Oslo torsdag 5. mars. Vi samler forskere, politikere og andre sentrale aktører for å diskutere hvordan vi kan forstå virkningen av store geopolitiske endringer på Svalbard i lys av norsk suverenitet – samtidig som vi forblir åpne, inkluderende og følger våre internasjonale forpliktelser.
