Arctic Practices: Design for a Changing World
ed. Bert De Jonghe & Elise Hunchuck
Actar Publishers, New York / Barcelona
Pages: 464

Publication date: April 2025

Arctic Practices: Design for a Changing World emerges at a critical juncture wherein the very stability of Arctic ecosystems hangs in a precarious balance induced, almost entirely, by humans. This volume assembles forty-six contributors—designers, educators, artists, photographers, filmmakers, some Indigenous, some residents, and some visitors to the Circumpolar North—to create a polyvocal assembly of Arctic practices. This assembly represents an attempt to deliberately depart from traditional academic frameworks that have historically privileged Western voices and epistemologies.



The contributions collected here address critical gaps in published Arctic design literature. They also represent attempts to imagine new forms of design practice that might respond to the urgency of climate change and the necessity of reconciliation. This volume hopes to open new possibilities for meaningful design interventions across northern lands, seas, skies, and ice, always mindful of both the urgency of our present moment and the weight of historical injustices that have shaped these landscapes and the lives lived with them.
