North Norwegian Art Centre and LIAF Artistic Advisory Board are happy to announce the opening weekend of Lofoten International Art Festival—LIAF 2024, taking place September 20–22.
This year's festival exhibition is based on the history surrounding the Lofoten Line: a large-scale national initiative from 1861 which was supposed to make the Lofoten fishery more efficient. With its 170 km of submarine cables and land lines, the facility constituted the country's first telegraph line outside the main telecommunications network.
