This month we are very pleased to welcome Kristin Folsland Olsen, writer, photographer and lecturer based in Lofoten.

Olsen has written several non-fiction books, including Turguide Lofoten. She is passionate about the arctic wilderness and has carried out a number of skiing expeditions on Svalbard, Greenland, Baffin Island and South Georgia. During her residency Kristin will be working on a new book about her skiing expeditions in the Arctic. 

Olsen has been nominated by our key partner Norsk Faglitterær Forfatter og Oversetterforening for the residency and will be staying until June. You can follow news of her stay via Artica’s social media: Facebook, Twitter, instagram and monthly newsletter.
