The new Artica Writings 2022 book is out now

In 2022 Artica collaborated with LPO Arkitekter and UiT - The Arctic University of Norway, Academy of Arts, landscape architecture programme to commission four new essays, by leading experts from the Nordics, to discuss the Svea environmental clean-up project and its related issues. We are now very pleased to share the new printed version of the commissioned essays in dual language (Norwegian/English).

This limited edition publication has been designed by City Edition Studio. The books cover has been printed using an ink made from coal taken from Sveagruva. It was ground down to a particle size below 100μm and mixed with a transparent ink base which was then used to print the covers on a pedal-operated printing press in Bristol, UK. Find full details about the publication here alongside last years edition.

The publication is available to pick up from Artica Svalbard, we can also send copies (please note any postage costs are not covered) contact books@articasvalbard.no for details on how to get a copy.
