Street art
Sulitjelma

Overview

Through the Up North Festival, some of the world's foremost Street Art artists came to Sulitjelma in the summer of 2015. Among the artists were the Spanish contemporary artist Deih, as well as Borondo and Sabek from Spain, M-City from Poland, DotDotDot, Stein, and StayOne from Norway.

Together, they provided a wide range of expressions and styles on the towering structures in the industrial area of Sulitjelma. Old industrial buildings are now adorned with beautiful art, which also illustrates much of the powerful history from the ancient mining community.

Among the artworks, we find Mons Petter, the Sámi man who discovered the first ore nugget and set the mining adventure in Sulis in motion.
