Observation of Change

Art and Science exhibition forthcoming!

Opening on 1th June 2025 at 1pm in the the Adde Zetterquist Art Gallery

Observation of Change is an art project based in Nordic collaboration with a nature restoration project «Observation – An observation of change» at the Junkerdal area in Saltdal municipality, Norway.

A forthcoming art-science exhibition on forest restoration highlights the growing recognition that collaboration between the arts and sciences is vital for addressing complex environmental, social, and cultural challenges. By bringing together creative and scientific perspectives, this exhibition presents narratives that make open up views on forest restoration. Through aesthetic expression and imaginative language, artists aim to foster empathy and deeper understanding—essential elements in supporting ecological restoration and the conservation of forest ecosystems.

Institutional partners of the project include the Adde Zetterquist Art Gallery, Nordland National Park Centre, Norwegian Institute of Nature Research (NINA), Norwegian University of Life Sciences, University of Lapland, Nord University, and the Arctic Sustainable Arts and Design network.

The project is co-funded by the Nordic Culture Fund. The funding given by the Nordic Culture Fund is 300 000 Danish kronor.
