ARCTIC MEAL
by Swaantje Güntzel and Jonathan Johansson

Conceptual meal (“Arctic Meal”) developed during an artist residency at Ricklundgården in Saxnäs, Sweden, in collaboration with local chef Jonathan Johansson. The meal explored the impacts of the climate crisis on northern Sweden and the Arctic, reflecting how environmental transformation reshapes not only landscapes and ecosystems, but also cultural practices, traditions, and identities.

The dinner "Arctic Meal" took place on Saturday, January 24th, 2026 at Folke´s studio / Ricklundgården. 10 people of the village were invited, including our current artist neighbour from Ukraine.
