Bodø2024
In 2019 it was announced that the city of Bodø, Norway will be the European Capital of Culture in 2024. This will put culture, richness and diversity at the heart of Bodø, and with EU support a series of events will be organized to create a yearlong festival of art and culture.
In close partnership with Bodø2024, Peacepainting will develop and establish a series of workshops, exhibitions and training courses in a project named Nordic Peacepainting 2024. The project has already launched (see below) and will culminate with exhibitions and additional workshops during Bodø2024.
