A floating symposium on digesting a fjord landscape
The artist group Skifte.Land invites artists, researchers and others to participate in a six-day voyage aboard the Hardangerjekta sailing boat Mathilde in September 2022. The journey goes from the fruit producing villages in inner Hardanger and to Bergen city on the West coast of Norway.
The participants will create a floating symposium where we digest the fjord landscape through history, art and questions about how a future green and blue shift can be possible. During the voyage we will taste, harvest, think big and look for signs of changes on land and in the fjords.
We welcome to open seminars and events in Aga, Øystese and Bergen.
