Relate North : Art, Heritage & Identity

Tuotetiedot

Drawing on projects and studies from Canada, Finland, Iceland, Norway
and the United States, Relate North: Art, Heritage & Identity explores contemporary
practices in arts-based research and knowledge exchange in the
fields of arts and design. The essays and reports in the book interpret the
terms ‘arts’ and ‘design’ broadly to include, for example, crafts, indigenous
making, media and product design. By focusing on Northern and Arctic
perspectives of contemporary arts and design, links are made with issues
of sustainability and context-sensitive research. The contributing authors
provide thought-provoking accounts of current practice in these regions.
Relate North: Art, Heritage & Identity brings together the work of leading
scholars to explore issues in the field of contemporary art, design, and
arts-based research. Relate North: Art, Heritage & Identity will be of interest
to a wide audience including, for example, anthropologists, geographers,
sociologists, artists, designers, art educators, practice-based researchers in
addition to those with a general interest in Northern and Arctic issues.
