During February Mustarinda association (Finland) stays in residency at NAC.

The Mustarinda Association is a group of artists and researchers, whose goal is to promote the ecological rebuilding of society, the diversity of culture and nature, and the connection between art and science. At the centre of our activity lie contemporary art, boundary-crossing research, practical experimentation, communication, education and events. The Mustarinda Association reaches towards a post-fossil culture by combining scientific knowledge and experiential artistic activity. The Mustarinda Association is active both internationally and locally. Our activities are rooted at the Mustarinda house at the edge of the Paljakka nature reserve in Kainuu.

Robin Everett is a visual artist and writer working living and working between Finland and Norway with themes and concerns that encompass the macro and micro of Nordic biomes and wider socio-ecological concerns via contemporary art, environmental education, residency hosting, research, and publishing practices.
