SAAR is a joint Nordic project supporting doctoral artistic research practice facilitated by partner countries Finland, Sweden and Norway. It provides a stimulating intellectual environment and a supportive setting where doctoral artist-researchers from all fields collaborate, present their ongoing artistic research, and receive feedback from peers and tutors from the partner network.
The final program for SAAR 2025 will be launched here June 10th.
The schedule will be inspired by previous editions of SAAR, but the program will also be influenced by the site and the surroudings. Please be aware that the program might be slightly edited and refined during the event. The arriving and departure time will not change (unless we all agree). All participants are expected to attend the whole week.
Where
The site for SAAR 2025 is Kiruna, a city at the intersection of different ways of knowing. Accommodation will be at Malmfältens Folkhögskola, Sweden's northernmost folk high school, a folk education centre in Sápmi/Barents region.
When
17–22 Aug (Start 14.00 August 17th, End 12.00 August 22nd)
