Jakop Janssønn (Norway) – A musician and composer, he has just released two new commissioned works, both with climate change as the core theme, with great reception from both press and audience. He is Sami, but works in the intersection between traditional Sami expressions and contemporary jazz.
Tanja Koistinen (Finland) – Tanja Koistinen is an artist from the province of Lapland in Finland. Her artistic approach is multi-disciplinary; painting and printmaking, installation, socially-engaged art and site-specific art. She also works as a curator and producer of art exhibitions. Today, Koistinen lives in Äkäslompolo, northwest Lapland. In her artworks, Koistinen aims to relearn ancestral wisdom and values, and reflect her own position in society and her surroundings.
Zacharias Kunuk (Igloolik, Nunavut) – Zacharias Kunuk, OC, ON is a filmmaker, sculptor and visual artist. He is perhaps best known for his debut feature film Atanarjuat (The Fast Runner) from 2001, the first Canadian feature film produced entirely in Inuktitut. He is the co-founder of Isuma Productions, the first independent Inuit-led film production company in Canada.
Inez Shiwak (Riglolet, Labrador) – Textile artist Inez Shiwak’s artistic and community work attempts to address climate change at ground level. She refrains from representing climate change in her work out of respect for the other Rigolet artists who have made it integral to their work. She instead focuses her activist energy in her community work in the arts industry, previously as an administrator of the Rigolet Digital Storytelling Project and as a researcher for the eNuk app—a platform that aims to be “an integrated environment and health monitoring program designed by, with, and for Inuit in Rigolet.”
