SALT, a nomadic initiative celebrating the culture of the Artic.
Spring semester 2017
SALT is a nomadic initiative celebrating the environment, art and culture of the Arctic region. SALT’s mission is environmental. For thousands of years, people in the Artic
have followed the rhythm of animals' movement and seasonal migration. The footprints they have left behind are minimal. SALT illustrates and celebrates the care and
respect of this movement through the Arctic landscape including the ocean.
The triangular-shaped fish-drying racks that for centuries have been a hallmark of the northern coast are a monument to this culture. Dried cod was, and is, a very
sought after commodity whose trade brought great wealth and connected the north of Norway to the world.
The sea has provided the resources that Norway was built on, and from which future generations can live on. SALT aims to raise awareness of the ocean's wealth and at
the same time of the challenges it faces from climate change and polution.
