Relate North: Lessons of the Land

The twelfth volume in the Relate North series explores art, design, craft, and education in the North, Arctic, and near-Arctic regions. This volume brings together diverse perspectives on Land-Based education in the arts. Contributors recognise the Land as a vibrant teacher, with agency that shapes learning on, through, and with the Land. Indigenous pedagogies and research inform these chapters, offering insights into how creative practices, wellbeing, and worldviews are deeply interconnected with the Land. While set in Circumpolar regions—including Scandinavia, Greenland, and Canada—the themes resonate far beyond the North, inspiring educators, artists, and researchers worldwide to embrace the lessons of the Land in art and design education.
