Northern Connections & Conversations
North x North is an annual program of the Anchorage Museum that celebrates connection, creativity, imagination and innovation across Alaska and the Northern regions and convenes people worldwide for a discussion about possible futures and the potential of place, people, and planet.
The Museum’s North x North Festival will occur in collaboration with The Arctic Encounter and other community partners. The Festival will include art installations and creative workshops, and conversations, as well as film screenings in collaboration with the Tromsø International Film Festival. Just prior to the Festival the organizers will work with Stuart Hyatt on an album release for Stations. Stations is a sculptural installation by Hyatt that combines the scientific method with the creative process, engaging visitors with a new type of subterranean map––part of the Museum's Counter Cartographies project and series of exhibitions in 2021-2022.
The North x North Summit will be held in fall 2022, with conversations about future landscapes. The organizers will also connect throughout the year to creative practice and ideas.
North x North will also connect to the My Climate Object project in collaboration with the Climate Museum in NYC, the Australian Museum, the Natural History Museum (London), the Australian Museum, the Museum of Tomorrow in Brazil, the Nigerian National Museum, the Museum of the United Nations.
