JOURNEYS
Introduction
The inaugural Bothnia Biennale is the coming together of the vibrant Ostrobothnian arts community in the first large-scale event of its kind in the West of Finland from the 9th September-19th October 2014.
Initiated by the Centre for Arts Promotion Finland, it is intended as a collaborative project between institutions, groups, associations and individual practitioners within the area’s creative arts sector. Its main purpose is to raise the profile of the creative community and promote collaboration within it by merging art forms and forming new working relationships. The event will also host international artists and curators, creating a universal dialogue through exhibitions, performances and encounters around subjects such as the nature of communication across traditionally held boundaries.   
The programme is open to proposals from artists of all disciplines ranging from visual arts, crafts, moving image and the written word to performance, dance, music and theatre. Artists are encouraged to be active in forming cross-disciplinary collaborations as these will be prioritized in the selection process.
The Biennale’s primary role as an umbrella for the entire events programme, includes providing information to participants and the public via the Bothnia Biennale blog, a newspaper styled publication and brochures, maps and other publicity material.

Theme
The theme for 2014 is journeys, inviting participants to interpret the theme through the combination of visual arts, crafts, design, literature, installation, film, dance, performance, music, and theatre.

Certain geographical elements in the Ostrobothnian landscape (sea, archipelago) have contributed to a tendency to travel. Traveling has been linked to livelihood and has thus helped shape its inhabitants’ outlook on the world. Journeys can have a strong impact on human behavior, being a significant factor in the formation of an area’s cultural identity. Furthermore, cultural activities can help to bridge the gap between people, pass on knowledge and wisdom, and illustrate values and customs.


For whom
Artists and practitioners working in the following disciplines: visual arts, crafts, moving image, literature and the written word, performance, dance, music and theatre. Artists’ groups and associations, orchestras, theatre groups, dance troupes or companies, cultural institutions.
