Summary:

"The North Atlantic Triennial is the first exhibition devoted entirely to contemporary art of the North Atlantic region ... artists are modern-day explorers, investigating poignant themes and capitalizing on art's emotional impact and narrative potential as a catalyst for change. Climate and environment changes, and a difficult history of colonization of indigenous groups, have generated new works of art that address a cascading series of social, economic, political, and environmental challenges throughout the region. Artists also confront the illusion of the North as a remote wilderness and challenge the romanticized illusion of an untouched land and its perceived homogeneity. The selected works, in all media, trace shared narratives in the field of contemporary art, reflecting novel affinities and chasms within societies and among nations in the region."--Portland Museum of Art website
