Ord i Spor: Meet this year’s VU artist

Welcome to an open and personal conversation with this year’s VU artist, Per Heimly, at Narvik Library.

Per Heimly grew up in Snubba and, over several decades, has developed into one of Norway’s most prominent and recognizable artists and photographers. In this conversation, he generously shares from his own life and work — about growing up, identity, artistic drive, and the journey from the north to a national and international art scene. With honesty, humor, and seriousness, Heimly invites the audience to get close to both the person and the artistry behind the camera.

The conversation will also cover the project Narvik in France, this year’s VU exhibition at Narvik Museum, where Heimly traveled around France to photograph all 50 places that bear the name Narvik. Heimly will share stories from the journey and the people he met along the way.

The conversation will be moderated by Ann Kristin Kristensen, Museum Nord’s head of the museums in Ofoten.
