Description

Land is not simply a backdrop for artistic expression—It is a teacher, a collaborator, and a living presence. In this exhibition the work responds to Land as pedagogy: a force that informs identity, creativity, belonging, and resistance.

Land holds stories. It shapes cultural practices, nurtures worldviews, and informs artistic and craft-based traditions. It is deeply tied to Indigenous sovereignty, well-being, and environmental stewardship. At the same time, Land is at the center of urgent political, ecological, and cultural questions—especially in the face of climate change and ongoing colonial legacies.

How does the land teach us? How do we listen?

Artists and makers from across the Circumpolar North take part in this international online exhibition, presented as part of Relate North 2025, the annual symposium and exhibition organised by the ASAD (Arctic Sustainable Arts and Design) network of the University of the Arctic.

Lessons of the Land brings together visual artworks, craft, and digital expressions that reflect how the land shapes identity, learning, and belonging.

Three images are exhibited which are stills from an in-progress film, my first foray into the world of soil. My interest in soil links directly to my desire to investigate what lies hidden beneath the surface of large scale industrial developments linked to the renewable energy industries. My interest has evolved slowly, beginning in Shetland in 2020 when armies of diggers began to excavate tonnes of soil and peat to construct the industrial scale Viking Energy Wind Farm. I am deeply worried by what is hidden from our view through extractivist practices. What is buried, what happens behind the scenes, and underground? I worry about the injury that the land and its inhabitants incur through industrial scale developments for renewable energy being built across Shetland and all of rural Scotland to tackle the climate crisis. I wonder what we can learn from the soil that can help foster our reciprocal relationship with the natural world.
