In Karajok, on the S\u00e1mi region of Norway, key local partners for the AAE was the S\u00e1mi Center for Contemporary Art (S\u00e1mi D\u00e1iddaguovdd\u00e1\u0161) and the Karasjok School. In addition to the University of Lapland, the event was also supported by Ume\u00e5 University from Sweden, Nord University from Norway, and the University of Greenland. External partners included the multidisciplinary art association Piste from Rovaniemi and the artist and social psychology association Siunissag from Greenland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Karasjok Nomadic Hub of Arctic Art Education was made possible through funding from Nordplus Horizontal 2023 and the Arctic University\u2019s research and education network fund supported by the Danish Ministry of Higher Education and Science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Group
In encounters such as museum visits, S\u00e1mi Parliament gatherings, and visits to the Laavu, the ecological-cultural dimensions and plurality of life in Karajoki were explored. Photo: Timo Jokela, 2024.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The theme of the Nomadic Hub was the river which flows through the Karasjok village.
The topic was connected to northern nature and relevant to the participants,
eighth-grade pupils, and to their everyday lives.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"Clay
The pupils used the Karasjok River as inspiration to create clay pieces that show what lives or thrives because of the river. The purpose was to learn about ecosystems and how all living things are connected. Photo: Sara Rylander, 2024.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the workshop, we focused on what kind of words, images, colours, and movements the river brought to mind. The subject started with a gallery visit, then explored through painting, which expanded into a performance on the frozen Karasjok River. The topic was also expressed through drawing, carving, photographing and sculpting in clay. Afterwards, the video of the performance was presented to the participants at the opening of a pop-up exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Carving
