North AiR : Expanding Entanglements is a residency and research cooperation spanning six residency/ arts organisations in Scotland and Finland. The residency programme supported by the Finnish Institute in London aims to reconsider conventional artist exchange models and question the role of artists’ residency in this time of climate breakdown. Each partner fosters long term enquiries into its role and response-ability within the ecological crisis and together we look towards a post-fossil culture with a trans disciplinary approach. As a key part of this research cooperation we pool our resources and networks to think beyond dominant artist exchange models and look to question the role of artists’ residency in a time of climate breakdown.

The partners are Scottish Sculpture Workshop, Taigh Chearsabhagh with University of the Highlands and Islands and Timespan from Scotland and MUSTARINDA , KulttuuriKauppila Art Centre and The Bioart Society from Finland.
