PAPEY LISTSKJUL* / Papay Arts Centre / -
A REVOLUTIONARY ARTS & HERITAGE HUB OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC (formerly known as Land Art Papa Westray) is an artists' run, not-for-profit, independent, experimental, place-specific, transmedia art project
PAPEY LISTSKJUL is an art exhibitions and music venue, the base for art residencies and the home of PAPAY GYRO NIGHTS ART FESTIVAL on the island Papa Westray (Papay) in Orkney
Since 2007 PAPEY LISTSKJUL / PAPAY GYRO NIGHTS hosted over 40 art residencies in Papa Westray creating the most complete study and documentation of the island through film, music, sound art, architecture, visual art, performance and writing
Papa Westray (Papay) is an island 4 by 1 mile, population about 60-100** and 7000 years history of continious human inhabitation.
The island is sinking and "In a few short ages the lobster and crab will crawl on our cold hearthstones; whales and fishes will disport above where our chimney tops now reach; seaweeds and limpets will grow on our gravestones, and our graves will be nowhere. "***
PAPEY LISTSKJUL is an utopia which eventually evolved into construction of a boat to escape the sinking island. The years are passing by and we're absorbed into the boat building
PAPEY LISTSKJUL has no fixed venue on the island and staging it's events and setting up artists studios at various found locations
* PAPEY LISTSKJUL can be translated from Orkney Norn / Old Norse as "Papay Arts Centre". LIST - Art. SKJUL - hall, meeting or hiding place
** exact population of Papa Westray is unknown. in 2007 we had about 60. In 2015 - about 110 and continues to grow
*** Denisson. 1893 address to the Orkney Natural History Society |
