Sharing Experiences: Nikhil Vettukattil about his residency at Artica Svalbard

We had the pleasure of speaking with Nikhil Vettukattil about his artist residency at Artica Svalbard in Longyearbyen during the autumn of 2023. OCA is one of the key partners of Artica Svalbard who offer one of the northernmost artist residency programmes in the world. During his time in Longyearbyen, Vettukattil worked on a project examining food systems, the 'Nordic diet', and the effects of climate change in the context of extreme environments.
