From August 26 to September 8, 2025, Performance Art Bergen and Longva AIR invite you to the 7th version of Between Sky & Sea, an international performance initiative that takes place every three years on various Norwegian islands. The festival celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. Between Sky & Sea VII: Flying Blind is a multifaceted project that facilitates artistic production, conversations, seminars, tours and outreach events. 7 international artists are invited to develop new performative works inspired and informed by discussions with invited guests and the surroundings as part of the work stay on Skuløy/Flemsøy, i Møre og Romsdal.

On Saturday, September 6, the public is invited to an open day with performances and contemporary art by/with international artists in the area around the large, red boathouse in Longva harbor on Skuløy/Flemsøy.

Between Sky & Sea VII: Flying Blind is a pluriperspective project, which wants to investigate the possibility for specific materialities', or peculiar places’ immediate impact on us by way of something we might sense. Could we call those places «privileged points»? If this is the case – what implications might such «privileged points» in the landscape carry with them for the development of more-than-human communities? Could we envision collective experiences - in investigating processes, with a group of artists, or together with a wider public – as something to break open for new ways of looking at our communities, from the local to a planetary level?

Between Sky & Sea VII: Flying Blind is organized in collaboration between Performance Art Bergen and Longva AIR a residency program under development for professional artists and writers on Skuløy/Flemsøy in Møre og Romsdal. Skuløy/Flemsøy is one of the North Islands, located 24 km from Ålesund.
