NORDIC LIGHTS: A Fun Series of Light Art Installations at Toronto’s Waterfront
“We believe that Nordic Bridges is a way to bring people back together, not only by building bridges with our Nordic collaborators but by once again gathering to share in art, conversation and community. Aligning with Harbourfront Centre’s mandate, the majority of Nordic Bridges programs will be free to the public. These presentations and commissions across the country will generate dialogue between Canada and the Nordic Region on culture’s role in the creation and promotion of sustainable societies and increasing awareness of the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations, most specifically, the environment, inclusivity, and accessibility.”
- Marah Braye, CEO, Harbourfront Centre Tweet
Exciting new art installations are coming to Toronto’s waterfront called, Nordic Lights, a part of Nordic Bridges, a national initiative led by Harbourfront Centre in Toronto and supported by the Nordic Council of Ministers, will connect hundreds of creators from Canada and the Nordic Region throughout 2022 in a year-long exchange of art, culture, and ideas.
With key programming pillars of artistic innovation, accessibility and inclusion, Indigenous perspectives, and resilience and sustainability, Nordic Bridges aims to inspire artists and audiences from coast to coast to coast. From January to December, the initiative will spark dialogue between Canadian audiences and artists while highlighting Nordic innovation.
