The Cumulus Rovaniemi 2019 conference “Around the Campfire -
Resilience and Intelligence" invites you to discuss the themes of
resilience and intelligence. The Faculty of Art and Design of the
University of Lapland will host the conference from 27 May until 1 June
2019. The conference committee invites all the Cumulusians to meet
around the campfire to discuss, relax, share stories and experiences,
create connections, and appreciating the fragility and power of the
Arctic spring and nature.
The conference discusses especially the topic of resilience. What are
the means, medium and methodologies of art, design and media in
contributing to the adaptability and novel innovation in coping with
everyday life, geographical extremes and societal challenges? How are
the topics of sustainability and resilience interconnected and
interwoven? The discussion is complimented by intelligence that is
visible through design applications that embrace smart, green and social
innovation.
The Faculty of Art and Design welcomes you warmly to contribute to
discussions about practices, research and artistic processes around the
campfire!
