The ten participating artists and duojárat were selected through an open call for Earálágan/Ovttalágan, organised by Romssa Dáiddasiida on the initiative of True North 2026 - European Youth Capital. Through the last months, we came together for two gatherings, to share practices, ideas and plans for what to create. Just as importantly, the gatherings were about getting to know one another, creating a safe space for sharing and getting to know Romsa as a Sámi place, both historically and today.
The artists come from different parts of Sápmi, bringing different stories, experiences and Sámi cultures. We wanted to make space for these differences to coexist, reflecting the complexities of Sámi art, culture and identity. At the same time, there is much that connects us: shared strengths, richness and struggles across streets, borders, waters and mountains.
Bures boahtin! Buoris boahtem! Tiõrv pueʹttem! Pyereest puáttim! Welcome! Velkommen!
Artistic and curatorial guidance: Elina Waage Mikalsen and Geir Tore Holm.
