ABOUT US
In the project of liberation, conceptual art and design can play a crucial role among activism, schooling, training, rebellion, spiritual practices, medicine, engineering, public health, planning, and research. Artists and designers whose practices are conceptual and political have the potential to bring a distinct skillset: to negotiate concepts and speculate in concrete, visible ways—enabling us to imagine otherwise.
Centre for Nordic Otherwise was created to address the urgent need for many more spaces where racialized individuals in the Nordic region, who are working towards liberation through conceptual and artistic means, can find support.

advisory circle
The Advisors for Nordic Otherwise are a circular and intergenerational group of warm, sharp practitioners. Some advisors are professional consultants who support collaborations and facilitate solidarity-based methods. Some advisors are the very earliest supporters of the idea for Nordic Otherwise and bring their trusted reputations and cultural knowledge in their respective Nordic cities.
