NordSync Online Seminar #13 brings together two perspectives rooted in the North — exploring how artists and cultural organisations can create sustainable practices, meaningful projects, and strong artistic identities outside major urban centres.
Carolina Miskovsky (Sweden)
Artist, Musician & Cultural Project Developer
Carolina Miskovsky is an artist and musician from Umeå with a long and diverse career in music, media, and cultural work. She began touring at the age of eleven with her sister in the band Honung Konung, and in 2005 released her debut solo album Silence on her own label Baltic Records — receiving strong national recognition and airplay across Sweden. The same year, she was awarded Umeå’s cultural prize Guldäpplet, becoming the first female musician to receive the award.
Listen to Carolina’s music:
In addition to her work as a performing artist, Carolina has written music for Swedish national television (SVT), worked as a TV and radio host, and is currently active as a journalist at SVT.
Her artistic work today is closely connected to nature, the northern landscape, and life outside urban centres. She performs together with nyckelharpa player and riksspelman Daniel Pettersson, creating music that blends folk, pop, singer-songwriter traditions, and country.
Since 2026, Carolina has also been working on the international EU cultural project ICH EDU North, focusing on safeguarding and developing living cultural heritage in the Aurora region.
Topic:
Carolina will present her work within ICH EDU North and reflect on how to create sustainable conditions for musicians and artists to live and work in the North. How can we support artistic life outside big cities — and why is it important?
Evgeny Goman (Norway)
Curator & Producer, Pikene på Broen
Evgeny Goman is a curator and producer at Pikene på Broen, a Kirkenes-based collective working with contemporary art and cultural production in the Barents region.
For over 30 years, Pikene på Broen has developed what they describe as “border-crossing exercises” — interdisciplinary projects that offer new perspectives on the North and address socially and politically relevant themes. Their work includes the international festival Barents Spektakel, the exhibition space Terminal B, and an artist-in-residence program that brings international artists to the region.
Topic:
Evgeny will present Pikene på Broen — its structure, methods, and artistic vision — and share insights into building and sustaining an idealistic cultural organisation in a small northern town.
A shared perspective
This seminar highlights artistic life in the North — from individual artistic practice to long-term institutional work — and asks how culture can grow, remain relevant, and create impact in geographically remote regions.
Join us for a conversation about music, identity, collaboration, and cultural sustainability.
