Lofoten International Art Festival (LIAF) is the longest-running art biennial in Scandinavia. Presenting works by local and international artists in a location-conscious context, LIAF seeks to be an open and experimental meeting place for artists, contributors, collaborators and audiences. LIAF does not have a set venue but takes place at different locations in Lofoten each time it is held. LIAF is organized by North Norwegian Art Centre in collaboration with LIAF Artistic Advisory Board.///

Curated by Kjersti Solbakken and entitled 'SPARKS', Lofoten International Art Festival 2024 is inspired by the history of the Lofoten Line: a large-scale national initiative from 1861 which sought to make the Lofoten fishery more efficient.

LIAF 2024 will constitute a vibrant network of temporary connections which, in dialogue with a wide range of collaborators, through art projects, collective approaches and cross-institutional partnerships, will help reveal what the Lofoten Line could look like today.
