SUMMARY:HISTORJÁ – STITCHES FOR SÁPMI
DESCRIPTION:On June 21\, see the powerful documentary Historjá – Stitches For Sápmi (dir. Thomas Jackson\, Sweden\, 2022)\, depicting world-renowned artist and activist Britta Marakatt-Labba’s battle for her culture against the threats of climate change\, presented in coordination with our ongoing exhibition Arctic Highways!\n\n\nBritta Marakatt-Labba has for decades depicted the indigenous Samí people’s mythology\, relation to nature and political struggle\, as in her piece Historjá\, a 24-meter-long embroidery depicting motifs from Sami history. With small stitches\, Marakatt-Labba evokes the history and mythology of the Sami people\, as well as stories of colonialism\, state-supported racism and political strife. After decades of protesting her people’s rights through art\, she is now facing another struggle: the fight against climate change as it threatens traditional ways of life on the Arctic tundra. After generations of family reindeer-herding\, will her son be able to carry on the family tradition? \n“Nature truly comes alive in this stunningly beautiful story about the Sámi worldview and mythology” (Business Doc Europe); Historjá is a poetic and visually stunning story of indigenous peoples’ struggle against climate change\, told through the visual landscape of one of the world’s most sought-after artists\, who represented Sapmi and Sweden at the Nordic pavilion in the Venice Biennale\, 2022. Winner of Best Documentary Film\, Guldbaggen Awards 2023. \n \n\n\n\n\n\nPURCHASE TICKETS
