Welcome to an evening of literary discussion with Norwegian PEN-nominated author Alena Kazlova.

Alena Kazlova (Anka Upala) is a Belarusian writer and translator of literature from English, Finnish and Swedish.

She is a member of the Belarusian PEN Centre and a member of the Union of Belarusian Writers where she also coordinated the work of the writing school.

As the dark season settles in, we are continuing our series of creative writing workshops. Join us at Artica Svalbard for a creative writing workshop led by Longyearbyen-based writer Kelsey Camacho.

I 2020 er det 100 år siden Svalbardtraktaten ble undertegnet. Vil den være aktuell og relevant i 100 år til? ARTICA starter feiringen med rette og skrå blikk på hva som kjennetegner traktaten, dens historie og dagens utfordringer.

Traktaten ble til under fredsforhandlinger etter første verdenskrig. Kan den overleve i dagens internasjonale politiske situasjon? Og hva gjør traktaten med Svalbardsamfunnet?

Welcome to a playful and creative workshop where you can join our resident artist Emma Stibbon for an Arctic drawing session.

Starting in the Artica studio, Emma will introduce her methods of working with Indian Ink, in preparation for our outdoor drawing session down by the beach.

We would like to welcome everyone for an artist talk and soup evening at Artica's workshop with our current printmaking artist in residence Giancarlo Scaglia Wednesday, August 21st at 7pm!

The artist will predominantly talk about his site-specific printmaking projects during his stay at Artica in Longyearbyen and Pyramiden, as well as introducing earlier projects from his hometown Lima in Peru and internationally.

Tuesday 25th of June at 19.00 Artica Svalbard is hosting an artist talk with Artist in Residence Sille Storihle.

At the artist talk Sille Storihle will speak about processes central to her practice as an artist, focusing on her stay at Artica Svalbard. Being an artist in residence in Longyearbyen evokes a wide range of paradoxical questions concerning (art) tourism, climate change, geopolitics and the role of the artist. Storihle will share some reflections concerning these topics and hopes the artist talk will branch into a conversation amongst the people attending the talk.

We are continuing our series of creative writing workshops! Join us Monday 10th of June (14-16hr) at Artica Svalbard for a creative writing workshop led by Longyearbyen-based writer Kelsey Camacho.
