Gallery Sister is now launching the project Strategies for Pissiga Times aimed at art and cultural organizers in Norrbotten.

We invite to power collection and call for common strategies for artistic survival in a troubled time. The threat from some culturally hostile trends worries and we need to gather and formulate, become a stronger we. By inviting joint recurring conversations with other organizers in the area to get to know each other through conversations “behind the performances”.

We believe in friendship and knowledge. Getting to know each other’s genres and activities through conversation between cultural organizers, we hope to build a common understanding of the time and situation that prevails. We are free cultural creators and free cultural organizers who work to provide a free art and its practitioners to expand their thoughts and creative work. We believe in the unique opportunities of art to contribute to a good society in its democracy -promoting nature. Something that can only happen if it is allowed to work by its own freedom. We must always guard these values, which are so easily negotiated because of fears and ignorance.

We start from our place in Norrbotten, because there is a value to network right here, get to know our neighbors’ operations, difficulties and opportunities. In the northern botanical context, there are also special conditions such as a vast geography and sometimes small towns and municipalities placed far from “everything’s center” (Norrbotten also offers industrial expectations with the so -called “green transition”).

Initially, we ask ourselves questions such as:
How can we together build strategies for pissed times?
How can we in our various activities support each other in the continuous construction of a good artistic climate in our region? What can we learn from each other’s processes, the artistic and the administrative? How can we highlight each other’s activities and together demonstrate each other’s necessity in our region? How can we together monitor and formulate our needs?

Are you an art and cultural organizer in Norrbotten? Come and have a snack and discuss or just listen!
It is free and the room is wheelchair -adapted.
