Bodø - The first European Capital of Culture north of
the Arctic Circle
Bodø in the North of Norway will be the first European Capital of Culture above the Arctic Circle. In 2024 Bodø and the region of Nordland will reconnect with Europe and the world beyond. The regional capital of Bodø is home of 55.000 people, living urban Arctic lives on the outskirts of Europe, but in the very centre of the resourceful and contrasting North. ARCTICulation is the title of the project: «It's time to articulate the pulse of the Arctic». The word ARCTICulation contains many aspects that are important to us; Arctic and Articulation, of course. But also, Communication. Art. Cultivation. Community. And even ‘Artig’, a North Norwegian word for fun.
Our programme will celebrate and reflect the qualities of the Arctic. Its unique relationship with land and sea and nature. Its unknown and exciting history. Its invention, resilience, and imagination. We want to share some of our Arctic values, by delivering a challenging and innovative cultural programme. Bodø is ready to transition from Arctic to ARCTICulation. From cold to cool. The doors of our region, and our hearts, are wide open. Welcome to Bodø in 2024!
We look forward to seeing you at ITB Berlin!
