At the same time as there are strong norms for silence in Sápmi, we live in a time where there is more and more open and public talk about the body, gender and sexuality. Riddu Riđđu wants to support this development and contribute to a more open conversation on these important topics. How do we move forward as a society? What attitudes do we want to pass on to today’s youth and future generations?
For the conversation to be meaningful, we must take our own culture as our starting point and take our history into account.
