Lat.63 art production. non urban art arena Lat.63 is a movable meeting place for contemporary art and culture along the Latitudes and a node for North Cultitude 6263. North Cultitude 6263 international cultural projects can be arranged and produced with the Lat.63 art arena. The concept of the non-urban art arena comes from the idea that the country is often described on the basis of the normative urban concept in society. The goal is to change this limited image by creating a meeting point, a laboratory for art, culture, performing arts, workshops, art projects and social debate for a sustainable present from a broader perspective. Lat.63 is a platform for a wide range of arts activities in cooperation with regional and national cultural institu- tions. Lat.63 is working to establish contacts and part- nerships with the network of artists, cultural creators, architects, scientists and representatives from the private and public sectors. Lat.63 art arena started on the 3rd of October 2015. https://www.facebook.com/lat63/ http://lat63.se/sv/

The main objective of the SIM Residency is to function as a direct link between visual artists, both nationally and internationally by bringing them together from different parts of the world to work in close company with each other. The SIM Residency seeks to promote an environment of reflec- tion, study and play by providing artists with a working environment that supports the artistic process. https://sim.is/about/
ART DINNER and PITCH In the concept of Art Dinner we connect two places in two countries with Internet and Skype. To arrange an Art Dinner, you must send representatives between the connected places/nodes to create more collaboration. We eat and drink the same, connected by screens and communicating over Skype. The dining table continues through the digital screen to the other node. During the dinners we share perfor- mance, films and artist talks between the two places. In these events, we often do Pitches, 5 minute project, 15 images presentations which shown on both sides. Afterwards, all participants will give feedback to the pitcher. Today we have done eight Pitches between two countries. “Art Along The Latitude” 15 nov Härnösand https://youtu.be/ysmzElm-JO8
ART DINNERS
To interact between countries, we use the Internet to arrange
Art dinners, Art Along The Latitudes, conference, seminars and
short project presentations “Pitch”.
The aim of these activities is to present and create art and in-
ternational projects, collaborations and work opportunities with
cultural projects in countries along the 62 and 63 latitude.
The activities gather artists, filmmakers, dancers, photographers,
actors and musicians for international collaborations with culture
projects and work opportunities.
Along the years that North Cultitude 6263 have existed, we
have by or activities and network create a number of projects.
Many projects are still ongoing and others are under construc-
tion.
In our construction and development of the network, we got
a lot of positive response, which clearly indicated the need
for the network and the activities. We are now in the second
wave of networking and our activities have been developed to
include seminars, conferences and workshops on cooperation
along the latitudes.CONFERENCES AND SEMINARS November 15th in 2018 North Cultitude 6263 together with KKV - Härnösand (Collective Art- ist Workshop) and Härnösand municipality orga- nized. Culture Lunch and the conference “Artist wherever you live”. National representatives of the artist organization KRO and KLYS and local officials and politicians were in place. The aim of the conference was to discuss how artists in the middle of Sweden and the Nordic countries could make a living of their profession. What opportunities and difficulties in being an artist living in “non-urban” areas of 62 and 63 latitudes? The political aspect of these issues was in focus as well as how KRO and KLYS respond- ed to these questions. The result was to continue the dialogue with the municipality of Härnösand and KKV with the purpose of making better opportunities for the artists in the region to practice their profession.
ART ALONG THE LATITUDES November 15th 2018 North Cultitude 6263 together with KKV - Härnösand arranged an Art Along The Latitudes event. The purpose was to gather art- ists and musicians along the latitudes and creating a unique event. The event included art performances, music and art experiments, talks and more. Art Along The Latitudes always creates unexpected meetings and new ideas. It is an inspiring gathering of creativity of different artistic expression, with participants from the latitudes. https://youtu.be/ysmzElm-JO8
Workshops The network has recently started a collaboration with WCU World Culture United to develop and arrange workshops. The workshops focus is proj- ect development, issues concerning collaborations, culture, social sustainability and cultural projects in collaboration along latitudes. In Khanty-Mansiysk Nov. 2018 the network per- formed for the first time such a workshop led by Irene Dominguez Marquez on topics concerning youth and culture. The result was successful and inspiring. The North Cultitude team in place got the task to tell about their experiences of being artists and the impor- tance of creating relationships and networks col- laborating with other people in the cultural sphere. The network is now investigating the possibility of establishing networks and relationships with young artists and organizing workshops along Latitudes 6263 in collaboration with WCU.
New Life! COMPLETED PROJECT Sweden - Norway - Finland “Big Skirt” performance, participants: Andreas Brännlund artistic idea and director Sandra Berg Mozard Tagtool (lightpainting and animation), Frode Thorjussen trumpet and music sculpture, Charlotta Kerb’s song, Stefan Backas sound and technology, Francis Oyola and Oscar Karlsson percussion and drums, Patrik Lemberg bass and Keijo Hietaharju bus and technical assistance.
HUNGER COMPLETED PROJECT Norway - Sweden - Finland The project HUNGER is produced through collaboration between craft artists from Sweden, Finland and Norway in collaboration with the organization Norske Kunsthåndverkere Midt- Norge. Our aim is to develop and present works of contemporary craft from our region as carriers of values and strategies for creativity. Through co-working with our Nordic partners, we seek to strengthen our knowledge and develop a deeper understanding of things that are made by hand. We ask: What happens when craft artists meet, artists whose knowledge has been gained in different places and at different times? And what happens when that knowledge is refined and transformed? To achieve our aim, we have organized three theme-based workshops: food craft, reed craft, and craft- ing with “blåleir” (London clay). These are held in Östersund in Sweden, Vaasa in Finland and Trondheim in Norway during 2017 and 2018. During these workshops experimented with different techniques and exchange thoughts and knowledge. The three workshops focused on specific material-related crafts. At all the workshops the same 9 professional artists from Finland, Sweden and Norway attended. The first workshop was held at Lat.63 art arena at Frösön in Östersund, Sweden in early September 2017. Participants worked with sponge paint, food materials, etc. Next workshop was in spring 2018 at Malakta Art Center, Malax Finland and the last workshop was in Trondheim later 2018 followed by an exhibition in okt 2018.

This film project is based on the fact that the consequences of
climate change are most visible in the north and also the fact that the
indigenous people living in these areas has another worldview and
therefor another perspective on the purpose and the role of human

real problems to find solutions that can help us. Therefor we think
that by listening to other ways of perceiving the world and by that,
humanity’s role in the creation, we might find other answers… We

INTERREG 2013 - 2014
North Cultititude 6263 network started with a workshop 2012 in Ilsvi-
ka Atelier Trondheim. The network had been run as an Interreg project
in 2015 - 2014 when the platform took shape and the contacts were
taken. 2015 - 2017, various forms of support funds have been used in
the municipal, regional and international funds. Funding is applied region-
ally and for a separate project by the project owners with the North
Cutitude 6263 network as a partner. NC6263 helps to establish and
develop concepts and contacts abroad within the cultural geographic
area of the 62nd and 63rd latitude. The network also seeks financial
support in international organizations and institutions for the develop-
ment of contacts and establishment outside the Nordic countries along
62 and 63 latitude.
http://northcultitude6263.com/httpswww-dropbox-comsypcos4qh-

Newsletters are produced on special occasions and not continuously. One of the major challenges with this kind of cross border network is to share information and create communication channels and info platforms. North Cultitude 6263 is constantly working on finding new technologies for communication and information transfer. https://www.facebook.com/NorthCultitude6263/
