Ty枚/Work: Kv盲盲nibiennaali 2025
The third edition of the Kven Biennial shines a spotlight on Kven contemporary art, and challenges the public to consider what Kven art can be. The biennial is the first exhibition at Nordnorsk Kunstmuseum to feature exclusively artists with a Kven background.
In the past several years, the performative and creative aspects of Kven culture have come into greater focus, with both musical and theatrical activities creating new venues for the expression of Kven identity. More people are becoming aware of their own Kven background, among them professional contemporary artists. In line with the 鈥淜ven Spring鈥� of the recent years, with a blossoming of new artistic and cultural expressions, the Kven Biennial has since 2021 been an area for research, dialogue and the display of Kven contemporary art. In a broader landscape with few boundaries or even expectations of what Kven art should be, we stand at an exciting point in an emergent Kven art movement.
