Converging Science, Art & Indigenous Knowledge Systems

The ASSW workshop will gather representatives of natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, local and Indigenous communities. We set up the following objectives to frame our discussions and further activities:

• To explore creative possibilities of art, science, local and Indigenous knowledge to understand interdependencies and interrelations within Arctic social-ecological systems.
• To examine drivers of infrastructure change in the Arctic social-ecological systems as a case-study for possible future collaboration.
• To discuss collaborative scientific and artistic practices based on analysis of case-studies at the fringe of these cultural approaches.
• To define the most effective ways to represent co-created understandings of Arctic sustainability for the wider audience
