Edited Catalogue of Project Presentations – Mapping the New Genre Arctic Art Education
The book Mapping the New Genre Arctic Art Education opens a window to the enchanting world of the New Genre Arctic Art Education initiative, where creativity meets sustainability. Through the collaboration of two Thematic Networks of the University of the Arctic – Arctic Sustainable Art and Design, and Children in the Arctic – this endeavor intertwines art, education, and psychosocial activities to foster a vibrant and enduring Arctic. Inhabitants of the North, especially the youth, are at the heart of this initiative, as they are the architects of tomorrow’s Arctic. Through five illuminating chapters and 24 evocative visual essays, this book celebrates and ponders how New Genre Art Education in the Arctic nurtures local ecocultures, ensures cultural continuity, promotes well-being, and strengthens social identities. By doing so, it contributes to building social resilience and sustainability.
