Abstract
The presented photographic illustrations are artistic interpretations of Sámihood in urban space. ”Staging Sámi in the City” is not an ethnographic study but a collection of staged situation as an effort to communicate scientific discourses with pictorial narratives, to negotiate the iconic and sometimes stereotypical representations of indigeneity with the changing live dynamics of people’s daily lives in the urbanizing world. The exhibition is conducted as part of the NUORGÁV: An urban future for Sápmi? The influence of Sámi youth organizing and political networking on the Sámi policies of Nordic cities – project (2014 -2017), funded by the Research Council of Norway. Original idea and production by Tanja Joona, art by Joonas Vola and printing by Mainostaso Oy.
