Fire & Ice gathers contemporary voices from the Arctic and explores cultural and geographic belonging through works that draw on lived experience. The exhibition revisits narratives shaped by a colonial gaze, and themes such as identity, trauma, nature and cultural resilience unfold in works that move between the personal and the political.

Created in close collaboration with artists the exhibition spans visual art, performance and activism, tracing links between individuals and history, landscape and belonging, modernity and resistance. At a moment when the Arctic is shaped by global interests, Fire & Ice supports artists from the Arctic region as authors of their own images and narratives, and invites reflection on colonial heritage, the climate crisis and cultural self representation.
