Day 2 Nordaførr

We shake things up on this second day of Nordaførr. We take a walk and talk in Harstad between session preoccupied with the times we are living in through topics of youth culture, language and organisational responsibilities in divisive times.

Program

Harvest

Breakfast meeting with Talent Norge, Music Norway and Balansekunst.

Presenting the online course "Se en gang til," an effort towards a more inclusive arts industry (Held in Norwegian).

At the heart of it

In effort to mobilise and energise the conversation we are invited to three different arenas in Harstad. The venue Støperiet, the clothing store and company Vakre vene and the collective space Preg gives us short insight to how they work and we, collectively take the conversation further. NORDAFØRR attendants are split up in three groups that will spend around 40 minutes in each place discussing the themes presented here below. At the end of the sessions the group unites for quick rapporting.  

Rite of passage

What are the myths, misconceptions and the hard truth about youth culture today seen from the perspective of Harstad youth? 

Location: Preg

Coring

What is the responsibility of artists and art organizations in times that are full of conflicts everywhere one looks?

Location: Vakre Vene

Speaking

In international forums, such as NORDAFØRR, English quickly becomes the main language thus giving native English speakers an advantage. In Norway there are two official languages in addition to several minority languages, none of them English. How do we navigate our communication in international collaborations and dialogue around the power of language?
