Umeå – EUROPEAN CAPITAL OF CULTURE
It is with pride that we present a selection of all
the fantastic events that will be taking place here
from January to December next year.
For many generations, Umeå has
been an obvious arena for powerful
expression. This is also where sharp
contrasts meet and become new
energy: climate research and queer
blogs; autochthonous culture and
the latest trends; computer games
and football festivals; soft-voiced
narrators and hardcore genres...
All the foregoing exist side by side
and in constant development. This
is because our region likes electric
and cross-border meetings. Thus,
we are now demonstrating to the
whole of Europe that Umeå has
exactly the creative and cultural
driving forces that the world needs
in greater quantities.
Welcome!

THE PROGRAMME
YEAR’S EIGHT
SEASONS
Inspired by the Sámi calendar, the capital of culture programme has been divided into eight seasons. Read more
about each season and its events on our website.

Season of
tending
The seasons affect us as people – variations in weather, variations in mood and
variations in what we do with our time.
Each season has its own character and
particularities, just as the activities in our
European Capital of Culture year.
RESERVATION
FOR CHANGES!
In the same way that the weather changes, creative ideas and projects also
change over time. We would thus ask
for your indulgence if the programme
changes. A large number of projects will
be added while others disappear or
change colour and shape. Regardless
of changes, we are convinced that 2014
is going to offer tens of thousands of
unique “stories”!

Umeå (Ubmeje in Sámi) is a part of Sápmi
(the lands inhabited by the Sámi people)
and the history, culture, occupations, religion and languages of its indigenous people. The Sámi calendar year is a way of
crystallizing the year’s changes and focusing on what is important in each phase.

We are building
for the future
The city is expanding. It is getting smarter, bigger and
more sustainable. Meeting places, work, life, culture... We are
taking Umeå not just into 2014, but far into the future.
On the shores of the Umeälven river,
we are erecting Väven, an iconic building
designed by the world famous Snøhetta
firm of architects. Väven’s rooms will offer
Umeå’s residents and visitors a multitude
of cultural meeting points. These include
a museum, music, art, crafts, dance, a
hotel and restaurants. The opening ceremony for the building is being held in
capital of culture year 2014.
The city’s new subway near the central
rail station features Europe’s largest
work of art in glass. Our eastern rail station shines bright and “sparkling” below
the University Hospital. Glass walls play
their part here too, along with a timber
laminate shell and an art-adorned interior. Umeå Airport is getting a facelift and
its air services are being developed. Like
life-giving arteries in a body, the expanded road network and the Bothnia Line
railway connect all parts of the city. They
give it strength, drive its pulse.
Our magnificent riverside has been enriched by the Umeå Arts Campus and its
creative, absolutely world-class courses.
This area is now also home to Bildmuseet,
one of the country’s most interesting windows on contemporary visual expression
and art. Bildmuseet has both a national
and an international character.
Music is an important part of culture
in Umeå. In the heart of the city, with a
guitar museum, café and restaurant that
form part of a house of music, there is
Scharinska, a vibrant music scene. A
scene that is becoming ever more attractive to local and international performers.
In fact, the whole city centre is undergoing a transformation. New shops, offices and hotels are putting down roots
in Umeå. Time, life and the city’s people
are all nourishing this expansion. Umeå
is changing, it is growing – and we are
building for the future.
WE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR
YOUR SUGGESTIONS!
THE PROGRAMME BUILDS ON
INQUISITIVENESS, PASSION
AND CO-CREATIVITY.
www.UmeA2014.se
Umeå is a proud, go-ahead city in an integrated and multifaceted Europe. The city is built
on participation and co-creativity. It bears the
stamps of inquisitiveness and passion.
Culture is essential and a strong driving force
in building any community that is pervaded
by an openness in which human creativity
shapes the future. For many years, we have
worked intensively on building a cultural city
that is characterized by this outlook.
