Sustainability involves practicing a novel understanding of the human place in the world. An understanding rooted in the what we have inherited from the past, our heritage and ways of doing embedded in the present context.
Traditional modes of production and cultural heritage are not expressions fixated in an image of the past. On the contrary, they are ingrained in a dynamic oscillation between continuity and change, constantly re-interpreted and recreated in the present by local actors and practices.
The global economic and environmental crises, entwined with social inequalities and challenges, forces us to embark on a process of change emerging from the creative re-combination of existing resources and practices. A multidisciplinary approach is key in this important journey. Culture has an inherent capacity to translate this process into a common language, interweaving the ecological, the social and the economic within a sustainable framework of development.
At NSF we incite to look and reframe the way we operate and correlate with where we are, triggering collaborative interventions situated in the local and global context through a diversity of practices and disciplines that can open meaningful connections and routes to make sense for sustainable futures

BASED IN ARVIDSJAUR, NORRBOTTEN
Working in inland Norrbotten and exploring my own movement work. Collaborating with other artists, running community projects and developing a creative space, Moskosel Creative Lab.
Born and raised in Gothenburg, lived 17 years in England (London and Brighton), graduated 2002 with a BA (Hons) Degree from London Contemporary Dance School. I am living in Arvidsjaur since 2015.
I have a great interest in exploring movement and video editing as a choreographic tool. And how to display the work in different installation approaches.
My works have been shown in various places from theatres, site-specific locations and galleries. Currently I am developing works at Moskosel Creative Lab.
As a dancer or performer I have worked with, amongst others, Belgian choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui in his collaboration with filmmaker Joe Wright in cinema film Anna Karenina, touring for Spanish born choreographer Eva Recacha and the UK based Marie Gabrielle Rotie and well as performing with The Karavan Ensemble (UK).
I am also a co-funder of Northern Sustainable Futures, a creative team developing a meeting place in nature in Arvidsjaur called Moskosel Creative Lab. With accommodation and working studios and performance possibilities. It is also where I have my base.
