What is border art? And to what extent has it been present in Northern Norway and its neighbours Finland, Sweden and Russia over the past three and a half decades?

Why does border art worldwide require archiving? And what does archiving border art involve in practice?

This guided tour will suggest some answers to these complex questions.

This tour will be given by Associate Professor Ekaterina Mikhailova, a border scholar from the UiT-turned amateur archivist. She is one of the contributors to the exhibition "For History Change Position" and the online Border Art Archive, both curated by Hilde Methi.

In this tour, Ekaterina will share some insights from Border
