Finnish Ministry on Culture and Education supports Young Arctic Artists (YAA) project with 20 000 Euro!
The support is used for Finnish-Russian collaboration. We also got 3000 Euro as a so called covid grant.
Young Arctic Artists 2021 exhibition promotes emerging contemporary art from northern areas. Seeing the people of the Arctic and Northern Fennoscandia through dichotomy of indigenous peoples and national majorities doesn’t describe the whole situation aptly. There are groups of people who don’t belong to the national majorities but are not considered indigenous either. There is a clear need for a self generated Arctic culture and with the Young Arctic Artists 2021 we want to raise the diversity of Arctic voices. Finnish-Russian collaboration is a great part the whole network.
