From the Mouths of the Caves – Listening to Hear Another Island’s Song

Join us for an exhibition of artworks created by 3rd Grade pupils from Longyearbyen Skole and Kulturskolen.

From the Mouths of the Caves is an inter-island community art project connecting young islanders from Iona & Mull Primary Schools (Hebrides, Scotland) with children in Svalbard.

The project explores how knowledge can be exchanged between island communities through creative practice. Drawing inspiration from two elemental landscapes — an ice cave in Svalbard and a sea cave on the Isle of Iona in Scotland — the children reflect on shared environments, cultural identity, and the ways island life shapes understanding of place.

The project is led by artists Mhairi Killin and Floortje Zonneveld.

When: Monday 9th March 17.00 - 19.30 and Tuesday 10th March 17.00 - 19.30

Where: Outside and inside Artica Svalbard

Open to all.
