A YEAR WITHOUT TREES

5 FEBRUARY 2022

In February we launched A Year Without Trees, an audio walk created by a group of 12 students from the Svalbard Folkehøgskole and artist Floortje Zonneveld.

The audio walk was part of a project which began in October 2021, The Slow Adventure, an exploration into the world we live in and an ongoing collective artistic research project. It raises a dialog that illuminates the landscape and gives insight into the nature of our surroundings. Collaborating with young people, the various workshops and site-specific experiments are designed to open up the senses (touch, sound, vision, smell), igniting curiosity and inspiring moments of discovery.

During the launch of the audio walk we screened a short film made about the project which you can watch here: https://www.articasvalbard.no/videos/the-slow-adventure-a-year-without-trees
