Welcome

The artist duo Otzko and Henningsen combine poetic inquiry with critical reflection to examine contemporary Arctic conditions and their global implications — particularly in relation to climate, power, territory, and presence. They are the founders of Arctic Pavilion, a nomadic platform rooted in site-responsive artistic practice, bringing together research, movement, and cross-disciplinary collaboration to engage shifting ecological and geopolitical realities.

​

Ina Otzko is an interdisciplinary artist from Northern Norway working across photography, moving image, sound, performance, text, and sculpture. Her practice engages embodied listening and duration, situating the body within landscapes and systems shaped by extraction, memory, and power. Through subtle yet sustained interventions, she explores how ecological and political forces are inhabited rather than illustrated. She holds master’s degrees from Goldsmiths, University of London, and Universität der Künste Berlin, and presents her work internationally.

​

Stein Henningsen is a visual and performance artist based in Svalbard whose work addresses political, economic, and climate-related systems. With a background in engineering and international marketing, he combines analytical rigor with activist strategies, using performance and visual practice to interrogate power structures and geopolitical tensions. He is the founder of the Arctic Action International Performance Festival and has exhibited and performed internationally.
