The guest speakers will represent Sápmi, Northern parts of Norway, Sweden and Finland. The goal is to share visions and ideas about the future of Northern Arts and create new connections in order to make actions that lead to a more supportive and caring environment for different kinds of artistic creations and art as a profession.
