15 years after the Barents Region was launched as a new spatial entity in the High North, the exhibition PAN-BARENTZ invites you to explore the Barents identity at the crossroad of art, architecture, urbanism and politics. Pan-Barentz present a series of statements, investigations, readings and interpretations made by artists and architects on and of identity in the Barents region.

Exhibition route Pan-Barentz (2009 – 2010): Oslo – Tromsø – Rovaniemi – Helsinki – Murmansk – Arkhangelsk – Moskva.
