SKREI CONVENTION

PROGRAMMA: CREATIVE EUROPE (2018)

PARTNERSHIP: Museum Nord (Lofoten - Norway, lead partner), CERS Italy (Italy) and Ílhavo Maritime Museum (Portugal).

Objectives: to re-imagine the historical trade routes of dried and salted cod from northern Norway to the Baltic Sea to Germany, the UK, Italy and Portugal. Skrei Convention created a rich new knowledge environment with the development of Skrei.Net, an interactive multimedia archive that aims to create the largest collection of resources on the history, trade routes and uses of Arctic cod. The project involved three international artists working alongside local communities to collect and explore historical, political, economic and sociological perspectives on Arctic cod.
