Relate North: Call for Contributions

Relate North: New Genre Arctic Art Education beyond Borders

Editors: Timo Jokela, Maria Huhmarniemi & Kathryn Burnett

Deadline for synopsis Monday 29th January 2024: for further information see here.

Relate North is an English language, peer-reviewed publication dedicated to exploring and sharing contemporary practices in arts-based research and art-based knowledge exchange in the fields of arts, design and visual culture education across the North and Arctic. The term ‘art’ should be interpreted broadly to include, for example, design, crafts, indigenous making, media and product or service design. Proposals for chapters are sought for this book, which will focus on the general theme of New Genre Arctic Art Education beyond Borders’.

We are interested in submissions that investigate art and art education practices and discuss the potential of contemporary arts for the Arctic region. The socio- and ecocultural challenges facing the Arctic region call for innovative responses. The concept of new genre Arctic art refers to Indigenous and other artistic expressions, interventions, and new forms of crafts and cultural heritage that share interests in the Arctic’s material culture and handcraft skills. In addition, we seek present- and future-oriented chapters on, for example, art and art and culture education related to the new genre Arctic art. We especially welcome your visions and insights that challenge the notion of ‘borders’.
