Pikene på Broen is a collective of curators and producers based in the north-eastern Norwegian town of Kirkenes. Located 15km from the Russian border and 50km from the Finnish border the town of Kirkenes is ideally placed for cross-border cooperation and cultural exchange in the Arctic. Pikene på Broen was established in 1996 by Bente Synnøve Andersen, Svea Andersen, Anne Mette Bjørgan, Inger Blix Kvammen, Solvor Vefsnmo.
Organisation has spent the past 20 years realising large and small scale cultural projects – they call these ‘border-crossing exercises’ which provide new perspectives on the north while initiating discussions on themes relevant to the Barents Region.
Terminal B is our project and gallery space as well as Pikene på Broen’s office space, located in the pedestrian street in the town center of Kirkenes. Since 2017, it serves as a cultural and social meeting place where we host exhibitions, performances, workshops, concerts, debates and more. We also have a small art shop and a library.
