TERRITORIAL PRACTICES / CONFERENCE Arctic Frontiers 2012 / Tromsø

We are looking forward to attending this interesting conference in Tromsø 26.01.12:
to quote the invite: " This second conference in the annual Landscapes in Change series delivers a critical perspective on the different practices shaping and constituting the landscapes of the high and arctic North. Landscape as an integral part of lived space develops and exists in a continuum of individual and collective practices, movements, economies and experiences, the complexity of which are not always recognizable in a visual representation."
