Tradition and Innovation in Arctic Sustainable Art and Design
In this article we explore the discourse of traditions and innovations in art and

Традиции и инновации в устойчивом искусстве и дизайне
Арктики
В статье мы рассматриваем дискурс традиций и инноваций в образовании в сфере искусства и дизайна на Севере и в Арктическом регионе. В первом разделе мы представляем концепцию Устойчивого арктического искусства и дизайна (ААD), которая берет свое начало в исследованиях, проводимых тематической сетью «Арктическое устойчивое искусство и дизайн»
(ASAD) Университета Арктики. Во втором разделе мы обсуждаем стремительные изменения и так называемые мегатенденции (Совет Министров
Северных Стран, 2011), с которыми сталкиваются северные и арктические
сообщества, в частности изменения климата, глобализация, урбанизация,
безработица и изменения демографической ситуации – все эти проблемы
требуют решения. Нас интересует, как AAD помогает решать проблемы
в социальной, культурной и экономической обстановке и в условиях постколониальной ситуации в регионе. Арктические и северные условия можно
рассматривать как «лабораторию» для развития нового жанра художественного и дизайнерского образования (Йокел и Коуттс, 2018b, Хухмарниеми и Йокела, 2020). В третьем разделе мы исследуем потенциал устойчивых взаимосвязей между северными культурными традициями и инновациями последнего времени для развития культурной жизни в Арктике. Мы
рассматриваем пути укрепления жизнеспособности и регионального развития через искусство, дизайн и культуру на основе нашего собственного
опыта и исследований членов сети ASAD и на основе Арктического Саммита Искусств в 2019 году (Хухмарниеми и Йокела, 2020). Мы также рассматриваем подходы регионального развития на местах и мероприятия по деколонизации и активизации в обучении AAD (искусству и дизайну устойчивой Арктики).

Introduction
In this article we explore the discourse of traditions and innovations
in art and design education in the North and the Arctic regions. In the
first section we introduce the concept of Arctic Sustainable Arts and
Design (AAD) that has been initiated in research conducted in the Arctic
Sustainable Arts and Design network within the University of Arctic
(ASAD). Since its inception in 2012, ASAD has sought to “identify and
share contemporary and innovative practices in teaching, learning,
research and knowledge exchange in the fields of arts, design and visual
culture education” (ASAD, 2019). The organization is one of the thematic
networks of the University of the Arctic that aim to “foster issues-based
cooperation within networks that are focused but flexible enough to
respond quickly to topical Arctic issues” (University of the Arctic, 2019).
In the second section, we discuss the rapid changes and so-called
‘megatrends’ (Nordic Council of Ministers, 2011), facing Northern
and Arctic communities, particularly climate change, globalisation,
urbanisation, unemployment and shifting demographics require
solutions. We are interested in how AAD addresses the challenges in the
social, cultural and economic settings and post-colonial situation of the
area. On one hand, there is a cultural and linguistic diversity within the
Arctic area due to the indigenous populations and other local people
inhabiting the area, thus protecting cultural traditions is one of the key
issues when discussing social and cultural sustainability here. On the
other hand, the Arctic is developing into an important hub of the twentyfirst century; industrially, socially and politically. We believe that the
economic potential of the region should be harnessed in an innovative
way that brings prosperity and guarantees the livelihood and positive
social-cultural development of Arctic inhabitants and communities.
The Arctic and northern circumstances can be viewed as a ‘laboratory’
for a new genre of art and design education (Jokela & Coutts, 2018b;
Huhmarniemi & Jokela, 2020).
In the third section, we explore the potential of a sustainable
intersection between northern cultural traditions and new innovation to
foster cultural life in the Arctic. This is especially important in remote
regions and in multi-ethnic communities. We discuss ways to strengthen
vitality and regional development through art, design and culture based
on our experiences and research by members of the ASAD network and the
Artic Arts Summit 2019 (Huhmarniemi & Jokela, 2020). We also examine
86
Культурология
place-based regional development approaches and decolonisation and
revitalisation activities in AAD education.
In the context of indigenous art, cultural and educational research,
decolonialisation (Smith, 1999) had gained prominence. Kuokkanen
(2000) suggested the idea of an ‘indigenous paradigm’, that would be based
on concerns, worldviews and cultural practices at the core of indigenous
perspective. She agreed Smith (1999) by stating that a key objective
is to challenge the Western Eurocentric mindset as well as Western
ways of knowing and researching. Thus, the need for decolonisation
of the methodologies of indigenous research and education has been
noticed. Indigenous paradigm and knowledge system have contributed
to indigenous research in the areas of art, design and culture (Guttorm,
2014), and we need to develop, re-conceptualize practices and theories
in teaching and learning art and design in Arctic. The term ‘northern
knowledge system’ (Huhmarniemi & Jokela, 2020) was derived from the
indigenous knowledge system. It refers to shared traditions, a historic
understanding of nature and the use of natural materials in Arctic crafts,
arts and livelihoods. We propose that northern knowledge system has
much to offer in art and design education and further research in needed
on it.
The concept of innovation is often seen as almost the opposite
of tradition. In the areas of art and design, for example, the notion of
innovation often equates with original, new and unusual solutions
(usually products) for business, market and commercial applications.
In short, innovation is often linked in people’s minds with novelty and
even revolutionary approaches or inventions. Sometimes the concept is
also associated with expensive solutions. The idea of tradition, however,
is often associated with customs, conventions, habits even ritual and
ceremony. Our view is that there may be fruitful ground to be explored
in the intellectual and pragmatic space between the two notions just
as there is much to be gained from locating theory and practise at the
confluence of art, design and education.
What is Sustainable Arctic Art and Design?
Our model of AAD embraces both tradition and innovation. It melds
contemporary art, service and product design and media productions
when investigating Arctic themes, such as Arctic sustainability, heritage
and future ways of representing ways of life and identity. AAD practise
87
Человек. Культура. Образование — Human. Culture. Education, 2020, 1(35)
may include, for example, productions made using indigenous art and
non-indigenous art. As a concept, AAD includes a dimension of cultural
politics, since it is used to highlight speci icities of the art and design in
Arctic and to promote cultural sustainability, diversity, ecological turn,
transform of traditions as well as an awareness of cultural richness and
diversity. AAD is a parallel concept to Arctic art (Jokela, Huhmarniemi &
Hautala-Hirvioja, 2019; Huhmarniemi & Jokela, 2020) and is de ined in
a similar way through concepts of changing traditions, sustainability and
political aspiration. The focus of our interest is on art, crafts and design
productions that study, represent and reform local traditions, create new
meanings with them and implement local knowledge on new forms of expression and innovation. In this article, we focus on AAD that is bene itoriented, even thought it might also have intrinsic value. AAD, especially
place-based artistic production and service design, is expected to deliver
innovative and creative solutions to problems faced by Arctic communities. The concept of applied visual arts (Jokela, 2013) is also used to promote the potential of arts to society and the wider economy.
Even if AAD is a well-established concept among the researchers
in the ASAD network and beyond in the academy, artists and designers
commonly identify themselves as Northerners rather than Arctic artists
(Huhmmarniemi & Jokela, 2020). The concept of Nordicity would also be
relevant for analysing art and design in the Arctic. It refers physical reality as well as to subjective experiences and social imaginaries, ideology
including visions and values and so-called ‘total Nordicity’ that embodies world views, knowledge systems, know-how in the arts and humanities (Beaulé & De Coninck, 2018). However, the concept of the AAD, in
our view, can be used to draw attention to the potential of intertwining
art, design and innovation. AAD is based on an alternative way of seeing
art, design and crafts as interwoven and integrated into ecocultural life
in North – instead of dualistic Western way of separating art, design and
crafts into disciplines of their own (Jokela, 2017; Huhmarniemi & Jokela,
2020). The approach, existing as it does in between art, design, craft and
innovation is evident, for example, in Sámi duodji (Guttorm, 2015) and
the community art of crafted sustainability (Härkönen, Huhmarniemi &
Jokela, 2018). Similarly, the development of snow and ice architecture
(Jokela, 2014), public art implementing service design and co-design
(Härkönen & Vuontisjärvi, 2018) and the creation of new arts-based
88
Культурология
services for various sectors of society (Huhmarniemi, Kugapi, Miettinen
& Laivamaa, Forthcoming) are further examples of AAD in action.
The discussion on sustainable development and sustainability more
generally, has various connotations in Arctic research (Huhmarniemi &
Jokela, 2020; Tennberg, Lempinen & Pirnes, 2019). Typically, economic
profit underpins political decisions and the direction of ‘development’
leading to large-scale and industrial use of natural resources. In contrast,
the need for sustainability is argued to support efforts to protect fragile
natural environments and communities at risk. This can lead to conflict
among locals facing changes caused by globalisation and climate crises.
Educational research has also added new layers of meaning to sustainable
development and sustainability. It is increasingly argued, that education
should not be for economy but for people and global good, therefore
discourses have been reframed by education for sustainability (Clarke,
2012) and post-sustainability (Jickling & Sterling, 2017). In this article,
we follow the definition of sustainability as practised beyond politics,
by researchers Monica Tennberg, Hanna Lempinen and Susanna Pirnes
(2019). In this sense, sustainability is a way of thinking; an effort to
respect diverse traditions, localities and future imaginaries in the Arctic.
We contend that Arctic sustainability demands development of creative
practises, namely AAD, as well as a creative and renewable economy,
cross-sectoral collaboration as well as collaboration between indigenous
and non-indigenous cultures.
In the research carried out in ASAD, a special focus has been placed
on the means of AAD to contribute to sustainability (Jokela & Coutts,
2018). Sustainability has been researched as part of art curatorial practice (Jónsdóttir, 2017), education (Macdonald & Jonsdottir, 2014) and
in interventions in culturally diverse communities (Hiltunen, Mikkonen
& Laitinen, Forthcoming), and bene its of inter- and transdisciplinary
methods for cultural sustainability (Härkönen & Stöckell, 2019). Ethical
procedures have been employed in all AAD interventions and methods
for dialogue and long-term commitment have been emphasised (Huhmarniemi, 2019; Jokela, 2020)
Changes
Rapid ecological, social and cultural change in Arctic is affecting the
wellbeing and cultures of people living in the region. Researchers in wide
raged of academic disciplines have noted these shifting circumstances.
89
Человек. Культура. Образование — Human. Culture. Education, 2020, 1(35)
Studies conducted by the Nordic Council of Ministers (2011) define
evident ‘megatrends’ like climate change, globalisation and urbanisation
that are taking place in the Artic and Northern regions. Climate crises
has profound consequences for the human and non-human inhabitants.
Globalization and urbanization have significant impact on Arctic
communities and their cultures. Young generation increasingly migrate
from rural environments to urban settings. Concentration of population
in larger towns and cities can be beneficial for AAD; cities are commonly
seen as creative hubs where creative industries have potential to blossom.
At the same time less people live full-time in villages. Social challenges,
and difficulties or impossibility to maintain services in remote and
shrinking villages has been seen as one need for development of Arctic
service design. A complex set of factors are at play concerning not just
where people live, but also issues of cultural identity: who are the people
of the North, what is at the core of their culture and how they live in terms
of economic well-being and socio-political dimensions (Nordic Council of
Ministers, 2011).
An important factor for the development of AAD is the effect of
the diversity of the ecosystems to the diversity of indigenous and nonindigenous cultures in the North and the Arctic. Ecosystems influence the
types of social relations that are established in particular place-specific
cultures. The social relations in fishing societies, for example, differ in
many ways from those in agricultural societies, nomadic reindeer hearing
communities and centres of international nature tourism. According
researcher on Arctic studies, Kathrin Stephen (2018), the climate crisis
has caused changes in traditional livelihoods such as harvesting, hunting
and fishing cultures. Further on, these changes have a expanding impact
on traditional knowledge, cultural identities and world views (Stephen,
2018). The climate crisis has brought about changes in the ecosystems
and has had effects on socio-economic and political realities, which
has affected the cultures and identity of arctic indigenous populations
(Stephen, 2018). We argue this is the case also in many northern and
arctic non-indigenous communities, whose culture is bound to nature
and traditional livelihoods.
A further identifiable effect of globalisation and urbanisation is
that young people from northern areas increasingly move south to seek
a wider range of educational opportunity, normally to larger towns
and cities. This has consequences for the smaller towns and villages, a
90
Культурология
clear demographic trend towards an older population, unemployment
amongst young people and a paucity of leisure and cultural activity. There
can also be health and wellbeing issues related to loss of cultural identity
( Karlsdóttir & Junsberg, 2015). According to literature researcher
Daniel Chartier (2017) to understand the circumpolar world well, it is
necessary to take into consideration the urban and non-urban problems
that characterize it.
Following Chartier (2017), the North can be thought of as an
‘intercultural laboratory’ – a place where indigenous and non-indigenous
peoples meet. It is estimated that there are around 4 million people
living in the Arctic. That includes more than 40 indigenous groups and
languages. Indigenous people account for 10% of the entire population of
the Arctic (AHDR, 2015). The melding of cultures and lifestyles if common
across the circumpolar region and this situation creates sociocultural
challenges that can become politically charged in the postcolonial context
of the area.
Place-making and regional development
Since the establishment of the ASAD network, in 2012, one of the
prime issues of the research among the network was how to foster
cultural life in the Arctic, especially in remote regions with multi-ethnic
communities and how to strengthen vitality and regional development
through art and culture.
Among ASAD partners, the art and design activities in northern
locations and communities are closely connected to place-based strategy,
which is also known as place-making and can also be understood as
economic development strategy ( Jokela et al, Forthcoming). Place-based
strategies are extensively studies as part of the place-based art (Jokela,
2013) but they also involve using places and a community’s capacities
to make economic progress (Milone & Ventura, 2010; Vodden, Gibson,
& Baldacchino, 2015). Building on existing infrastructures, skills and
strengths, this approach focuses on culture and the unique features of
particular places to boost existing businesses and create new ones and
even attract new investment. According to Daniels, Baldacchino, and
Vodden (2015), place-based strategy is a reaction to conventional topdown, single-sector, national-stage development projects. Thus, placemaking can also be understood as an identity policy for remote, rural and
peripheral places that are centres for their inhabitants.
91
Человек. Культура. Образование — Human. Culture. Education, 2020, 1(35)
But who’s places we are talking about? The blending of indigenous
cultures and other lifestyles of the people in Arctic is typical to the region.
Complexity is a defining feature of the Arctic’s ethnicity, as Kathrin Stephen
(2018) describes by noting that there are various ways of defining who
counts as indigenous. In addition to Indigenous cultures, there are also
other cultural minorities with heritage, traditions, and cultural identities.
As Chartier (2017) stresses, the Arctic is a multi-ethnic/cultural/ lingual
place.
Besides material and social relations, indigenous cultures of the Arctic
carry spiritual and religious dimensions and values to nature (HelanderRenval, 2009) which are often reflected and represented in traditional
arts, crafts and other form of cultural heritage. This calls for a certain
cultural sensitivity in approaching AAD activities. Commercial design
productions and items used to represent identities (such as clothing)
cause emotional discussion on cultural appropriation and exploitation,
if implemented outside of Indigenous community or by non-indigenous
people. Visual symbols such as patterns and ornaments have significance
in the continuation of cultures and even the sharing of world views (Joy,
2019; Kramvig & Flemmen, 2019; Minnakhmetova, Usenyuk-Kravchuk,
& Konkova, 2019; Schilar & Keskitalo, 2018). Thus, seeing indigenous
culture traditions as an economic resource cause alerting tensions and
conflicts (see also Olsen et al., forthcoming; Smith, 1999). However, if
members of indigenous peoples themselves are participating in the
transformation of tradition into contemporary and economic products
and services, then there is no, or very little, criticism.
According to cultural sustainability researchers Joost Dessein, Katriina
Soini, Graham Fairclough and Lummina Horlings (2015), place-conscious
education contributes to sustainability by strengthening connections
between people and the worlds they inhabit. These educational methods
can also initiate discussions of communities’ hopes and trust for the
future and they are beneficial for policymaking when engaging people in
fostering sustainability and making visions for alternative ways of facing
environmental, societal and cultural changes (Dessein, Soini, Fairclough
& Horlings, 2015). Some art and design educators use implementations
of place-based education (Greenwood 2008; Jokela 2013) to increase
the understanding of place as an educational tool for sustainability and
revitalisation of regional identity.
92
Культурология
Revitalisation as innovation
Besides place-making and decolonisation, revitalisation has
become a key process that aims to restore the values of traditions in the
contemporary socio-cultural context. As a concept, revitalisation includes
elements of both tradition and innovation, Auclair and Fairclought (2015)
described revitalisation as a practice that renews and remakes cultural
traditions that are part of the social construction.
Revitalisation does not mean returning to historical culture and
identity that would be authentic or unmixed (Huhmarniemi & Jokela,
2020). Revitalisation is always based on an interpretation of history
that changes according to our sources of historical knowledge, as
well as personal and communal perceptions, judgements and values.
According Huhmarniemi and Jokela (2020) the needs identified for
decolonisation and revitalisation show that similar processes should also
be implemented in AAD activities in multi-ethnic communities and nonindigenous communities. Revitalisation by means of AAD does not refer
only to cultural practices but also to places, villages and whole regions
based on their local and regional originality and potential vitality.
Among ASAD members, revitalisation is used as an approach to
achieve cultural sustainability. Its power is in the creation of cultural
continuation, intergenerational knowledge, the reconstruction of
traditional skills and support for local cultural identities (Huhmarniemi
& Jokela, 2020). Revitalisations can be also intercultural, with the aim
of welcoming new community members or sharing cultural practises as
enlargement of kin. Symbols, rituals and crafting methods can be studied
as part of contemporary creation and new meanings can be given and
associated with them. Political contemporary art shows one way of
having inspiration from the past with valid participation to contemporary
interests and value production (see eg. Guttorm, 2015; Horsberg Hansen,
2016; Igloliorte 2019). AAD also covers agency of renewing traditions in
contemporary art (Jokela, 2013, 2017; Härkönen, Huhmarniemi & Jokela,
2018; Stöckell, 2018), as well as in socially engage art and communitybased art education (Hiltunen 2009; Hiltunen & Zemtsova, 2014; Gårdvik,
Stoll & Sörmo, 2014) and in growing field of creative tourism (Kugapi,
Miettinen & Laivamaa, Forthcoming).
93

Merging traditions and innovation: towards renewable creative
economies in the Arctic
Studies among ASAD partners have shown that there are various
opportunities in remote and peripheral areas for innovative applications
of AAD that respect tradition and sustain ecosystems (Jokela et al.
forthcoming). We agree with Petrov (2014) and Vodden,, Gibson and
Baldacchino (2015) in arguing that innovation in the creative economy
is not restricted to cities and innovation hubs only, but there are certain
challenges in the Arctic. According to studies, the Arctic needs to generate
more human capital by investing in its people to keep them in the region
(Karsdottir et. al., 2015, 2017; Petrov, 2016). The advent of what is often
referred to as the “knowledge economy” necessitates the enhancement
of human skills and creativity, which will be key to the next stage of the
development process towards AAD as a creative renewable methodology
(Jokela et all, Forthcoming). This calls for novel models for educating
artists and designers for the Arctic. Artists with traditional artistic training
may lack the will and skills to work as entrepreneurs and producers of
services (Huhmarniemi & Jokela 2019; Kugapi, Huhmarniemi & Laivamaa,
forthcoming) and they may not have enough specific knowledge about
the Arctic to apply their skills to particular northern circumstances.
The material heritage of the Arctic is often connected to handicraft
and the skilful use of natural materials. Anyhow, primary industries
exploiting natural resources have traditionally been the foundation of the
Nordic Arctic economy. In many communities the expectation of economic
growth is still laid on industries such as mining. According Olsen et al
(2016), Karlsdottir et al. (2017) and Nordic Council of Ministers (2018)
this is changing now and recent studies show that the Arctic areas hold
several economic opportunities especially for young people in less
traditional industries. Sustainable natural resource extraction forms the
basis for more recent business opportunities, like the bio-economy and
more knowledge-intensive activities such as research, development and
innovation. Growing industries such as responsible tourism and creative
industries, also show promise – for example cultural events, locally
produced food, international media and film productions, and craftbased design and services.
According to Karlsdottir et al. (2017), there is already evidence of
the positive impact of education to the regional development and wellbeing. Access to vocational and higher education opportunities, as well
94
Культурология
as lifelong learning, is fundamental for local capacities, empowerment
and human resources and for the competitiveness of companies in the
Arctic regions. The growing University towns of Rovaniemi in Finland
and Tromssa in Norway are examples of locations where the population
is increasing and that does not happen through traditional industries
alone. This is largely thanks to several educational institutions which
attract young people from the region but also outside and even from
abroad. These cities are very international which also support creative
synergy. Based on long term involvement in higher education we believe
that education for sustainability in the art and design field will play an
important role in the future of the North and the Arctic.
Conclusion
The potential for creative and sustainable development that might be
drawn from the seemingly opposite notions of innovation and tradition
has been at the core of this short article. In addition, we have sought to
share our experience of research and praxis at the nexus of art, design
and education which we believe offers possibilities that we have only just
begun to tap into.
As drivers of the Arctic future, art and design higher education
institutions and universities should lay the groundwork for the formation
of multidisciplinary and interprofessional creative collaboration. The
ASAD network is aiming to do just that. Art and design innovations must
be implemented through culturally sensitive and place-based strategies
to respond to the challenges and ensure sustainability in the North and
the Arctic. Higher art and design education has an important role to
secure creative human capacity and promotion of sustainable future in
Arctic.
