The Finnish Presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers 2011 organizes a seminar on "Mobility and artist residencies - New possibilities for Art and Culture in the future." It will take place on 23 September 2011 at the Kiasma Theatre, Helsinki, Finland.

What will future mobility and residence be like?  What is sustainable and green mobility?

The Seminar has three main themes:

2. Best practices; rural vs. urban residencies,
