SPREAD THE WORD<br />
Angela Morrison<br />
(a ‘very keen <strong>Viva</strong><br />
reader’) took her May<br />
copy on a cruise along<br />
the Norwegian coast.<br />
This pic was taken<br />
whilst docked in Kirkenes, very close to the Russian<br />
and Finnish borders. ‘It made me wonder how far<br />
north <strong>Viva</strong> <strong>Lewes</strong> has travelled,’ she puzzled.<br />
Well, we can answer that. Caroline Pick (pictured<br />
below, left) and Adele Gibson (right), just pipped<br />
Angela at 80.6 degrees north (Kirkenes is at 69.7!),<br />
at the northernmost<br />
island of the<br />
Spitsbergen archipelago,<br />
in the<br />
High Arctic.<br />
The two <strong>Lewes</strong> artists were selected to participate<br />
in an international artist residency, aboard a specially<br />
outfitted sailing vessel, with the aim of bringing<br />
together international artists of all disciplines,<br />
scientists, architects, and educators who collectively<br />
explore the High Arctic and engage with issues relevant<br />
to our time.<br />
From warmer climes, somewhat<br />
further south, here’s a postcard<br />
from Mia Sampietro with her<br />
<strong>Viva</strong> <strong>Lewes</strong>. ‘On the way to Jackie<br />
O beach in Mykonos!’ she writes.<br />
‘On a sweet fishing boat! Home<br />
today!’ Alas, all adventures must come to an end…<br />
Keep taking us with you and keep spreading the word.<br />
