The uncertain path of the Sámi
Sámi artist Britta Marakatt-Labba has been dedicated to textile art for many years. He weaves into his creations the mythology of his people, the original population of the far North, who call themselves the Sami. In her work, Britta Marakatt-Labba portrays the Sámi's relationship with nature as well as the political struggle for the right to self-determination. Now he has the last challenge before him: the Sami community, still largely dependent on reindeer herding, finds itself in danger due to the global climate crisis...
