Luleå Biennial is hosting the panel discussion Ceding Power as an Institutional Strategy at Arctic Art Summit 2026.
How can institutions, however big or small, create space for independent Indigenous perspectives to lead the narrative? We would like to share the experiences of being in the midst of creating something new, much needed and not uncomplicated in relation to funding, support, and prevailing social climate. In the lead up to Luleå Biennial’s 20th edition, the historic commitment to developing the art scene in the North continues, with a shift in focus toward a contemporary art happening in Sápmi based on Indigenous perspectives, knowledges and experiences. How do artists and collaborators included in these first steps to create change handle the expectations and responsibilities -if any exist?
