Welcome to Northern Sustainable Futures
NSF is cross-disciplinary project in its germination period located in the beautiful region of Norrbotten, in northern Sweden. A project in the making committed to provide a platform for cultural exchange and community engagement.
We believe it's important to bring people together through a diversity of practices, skills and culture, opening opportunities for development and learning, situated and responding to the local ecology.

NSF is a growing platform, its main hub located in the former school building in the village of Moskosel, and two smaller buildings: Lomträsk108 and Kläppteatern in Arvidsjaur Municipality. Shaping materials and ideas through projects and educational activities that engender a collision between arts, culture, social sciences, community, economic thinking and practice it's central to our ethos. NSF aims to implement a connecting nexus with the cultures of the area providing a space  where the local community, national and international practitioners participate, learn and draw inspiration from each other and the local resources. The project proposes to shape a framework that affects change in practical and effective ways engaging audiences with the complexities and challenges of our social and ecological landscape.

We are currently running a program of Artist Residencies in collaboration with Swedish Lapland AIR with the aim to weave novel connections between the local community and international practitioners.
