During the Arctic Congress 2024 in Bodø, Norway, on May 31, Art Borups Corners youth researcher Anastasia Broman presented on Advocating for Food Security and Food Sovereignty. In this exciting presentation, she highlighted the significance of food sovereignty within Arctic populations, emphasizing its importance amidst global warming and anti-colonization efforts. Broman’s presentation aimed to educate communities on advocacy methods while fostering a hopeful outlook for the future.
The session included an immersive experiential workshop design on “Food Security: Past, Present, & Future,” which explored food options available in northern Canada. The workshop was structured into three sections.
Thank you, Anastasia for presenting on the work you’ve been for the last two semester. It’s made an incredible difference to our emerging Art Borups Corners project. All of these incredible activities and experiences are the result of stepping up and we really appreciate everything.
We also thank you to the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, the Manitoba Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership and the University of the Arctic for making this conference session possible. We hope to see these relationship development and engagement activities continue with the fall and winter semesters.
