Exhibitions that deal with vital and contemporary issues in the North are an important part of the Nordic Days. The Kirkenes-based curator group Pikene på Broen have curated and produced the exhibition Dare to Share, which also was part of this year’s Barents Spektakel festival in Kirkenes in February. The artists Morten Traavik, Tammo Rist and Steffen Krüger, Eva Bakkeslett and Lee Young-Baek through a series of statements show how we share and coexist, both in our local communities and across the border.
The Nordic Council of Ministers presents two events within the frames of their Knowledge Building and Networking program for the North-West Russia. One is the final conference of anti-corruption project and another one is the launch of Nordic-Russian project on corporate social responsibility.
The program is organized in cooperation with Pikene på Broen company from Kirkenes, Arts Council of Lapland, University of Lapland in Rovaniemi, province of Norrbotten, Committee on Culture in Administration of the Murmansk region and many other partners in Murmansk and in the Barents region.
