The program follows artistic practices tied to landscape, memory, sound, visual material, industrial heritage and community, and from August 11, the daily story shifts from how the center was built to what is being made inside it.
When the diary ends, this begins. The first BB Research residency brings together artists and creative practitioners from around the world to work with the Arctic as a place, a material and a question.
First Residency: Arctic is
a mirror of global change
Location: Barentsburg, Svalbard
