Luleåbiennalen at Bok & Bild 2025

At the fair Bok & Bild in Luleå 2025, we invite you to join a presentation about where Luleåbiennalen is at currently and how the biennial continues to contribute to writing the story of Norrbotten.

Bok & Bild is an annual meeting place where litterature and art meet. Between October 17-18, the Luleå House of Culture is filled with talks with authors and artists, lectures, a fair area, good food and nice vibes. This year's theme is The Bonds Between People, focusing on relationships of various kinds. How do we build relationships and what do we fill them with? The relationship at hand can be love for oneself, for one's family or a partner, or community in connection to social issues and other aspects of life.

Konstfrämjandet Norrbotten will be on site to talk about Luleåbiennalen which, this upcoming edition, takes shape from collective practices and with an emphasis on Indigenous perspectives.

Listen to the presentation:

The day after our presentation on Saturday 18 October, one of the biennial's invited artists – Lea Simma – will be on site to join the panel discussion Vihtanuššan Vittnesbörd by Verdde at 13.15–14.00.

Throughout Bok & Bild we will also be presenting the artwork hálijdibme badjelándas / wishes from the highlands by artist and doujár Tilde-Ristin Kuoljok in the Culture House foyer.
