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
Danceartist in Arvidsjaur, rural Swedish North.
Dancefilm | Immersive | Virtual Reality
I am working with movement with a focus on digital expression with video editing as a choreographic tool. Collages of movement, soundscape, photo, and film with elements of live performance take often form in interactive installations and site-specific works. Personal stories and identity in relation to self, others, and the surroundings are what inspire me.
Collaborations with other artists and other art forms are at the center of my way of working. I also work closely with the local community with various productions and initiatives.
I am co funder of Northern Sustainable Futures (NSF), a creative team that strives to bring art and culture in various ways to the sparsely populated and rural areas, and strengthen the cultural infrastructure and work conditions for artists.
NSF has established Moskosel Creative Lab, a creative meeting place for artists and creators in a large closed down previous school in the smaller village of Moskosel, Arvidsjaur Municipality, with working studios, living accommodations and performance spaces.
Part of NSF latest project is iM KONSTHALL, an immersive Mobile Gallery that will travel the North of Sweden. At present 50+ artists are creating digital work to join the tour. .
