Künstlergespräch: Niap und Tatiana Philippova

During a joint Artist Talk the Malakta guest artists Nancy Saunders (Niap) and Tatiana Philippova will share their art and their own perspective on the indiginous people of the North polar region.

Malakta is working as a residency partner with Goethe-Institut Finnland in the international project The Right to be Cold, which focuses on the arctic and boreal region. The project addresses issues relating to indigenous rights, ecology, climate justice and culture. The overarching theme is climate change, which is fundamentally challenging and changing living conditions in the northern regions.

At the core of the project is an exchange of residency in the North polar region. The multidisciplinary artist Niap (Nancy Saunders b. 1986) and the writer and photographer Tatiana Philippova (b. 1980) was chosen to participate in the residency at Malakta by an open call arranged by the Goethe-Institut Finnland.

The event takes place on Friday 12th of November at 19 o’clock at Malakta. The event is open for everyone and free of charge and offers an unique opportunity for the local community to take part in the art
and stories that these artists have to share.
