Bodø Exhibition – January 11-26, 2024

The Bodø exhibition was organised on the second floor of the Bymuseet in the heart of the city. It featured artworks from Megan Dominescu and Linn Rebekka Amo and highlighted the relationship between the two cultures and the results of the cultural exchange. The Sami culture, central to the conceptual approaches of both artists, stems from the Sami people – the only recognized indigenous people in Europe. They always made their tools and sewn their clothes, from materials found in nature: roots, birch bark, skins, tendons, reindeer antlers, and more.

ARAC is a non-profit organization founded in June 2012, in order to produce and promote contemporary art in Romania and abroad. The initiative of the 58 Plantelor Residency belongs to Anca Poterasu, gallerist and ARAC President. The first edition of the Residency took place in 2015 and it was financed through a grant offered by Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and the Romanian Government.
