From Torne River to Paris: Dipnet fishing on the way to Unesco

The Museum of Torne Valley, Tornio

  • 6.6.2025–14.9.2025

The multinational nomination Torne River Dipnet Fishing – Living Heritage across the Swedish-Finnish border, submitted in spring 2025 to UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, is now being presented to the public in the form of an exhibition.

 

The exhibition presents the cross-border dipnet fishing culture and introduces the 2003 UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage.

The exhibition focuses on the nomination dossier, submitted to Paris with the signatures of the Ministers of Culture, but also introduces other Finnish and Swedish elements already inscribed on the list. The differences between intangible cultural heritage and World Heritage (as well as other UNESCO lists) are addressed clearly yet sensitively.

The exhibition consists of the following elements from the nomination dossier:

Answers in the nomination form

Ten photographs

A 15-minute documentary film

Letters of consent from the local community

The exhibitions main language is English, but all the texts can be found also in Finnish, Swedish and Meänkieli. The exhibition uses visual elements from the Torne Valley Dipnet Culture project.

In-house production.
