The second annual symposium and exhibition organised by the ASAD network. The title of the events, Relate North 2013: Engagement, Art and Representation set out the focus of presentations, keynote lectures and the theme of the related exhibition. RELATE NORTH 2013 posed a series of questions for artists, designers, researchers and academics as a framework for action and creating art: How can art stimulate debate or promote sustainability and engagement with northern and Arctic issues? What role can art play in narrating Nordic issues? How might art describe some of the challenges facing those living in northern areas today?
