Kiruna Forever

One of the downsides of mining is that it can make a big hole. And things can then fall into that hole. To stop that being the fate of Kiruna, Sweden’s northernmost city, they’re moving the town by three kilometres, which means that about a third of the people and buildings have to move. This exhibition at ArkDes tracks this extraordinary event, talking to architects, urban planners and artists about the move, and about Kiruna’s history and future. Paying a visit will let you see

some incredible images, including whole buildings on the move.

Kiruna Forever, ArkDes, on display until Feb 2021
