Through images of the Arctic (ca. 1750-1930), the exhibition will tell and examine the traces of indigenous peoples' biographies, culture and experiences in the face of colonial actors.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The images are linked to indigenous peoples, landscapes and animals in S\u00e1pmi, Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland), Inuit Nunangat (Northern Canada) and Alaska during a period of increased colonial pressure and contact. The images are bound together by the fact that they arose in encounters between people from different cultures, and with different agendas and understandings of relationships with people, animals, nature and culture. The exhibition explores how historical images can be reclaimed and possibly enrich the history and culture of Arctic indigenous peoples today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition features works by S\u00e1mi artists Outi Pieski, Anders Sunna, Raisa Porsanger, \u00c1illoha\u0161\/Nils Aslak Valkeap\u00e4\u00e4 (1943-2001) and Aage Gaup (1943-2021), as well as Greenlandic artist Bolatta Silis-H\u00f8egh and Sugpiat anthropologist, curator and artist Sven Haakanson. Their contributions to the exhibition invite conversations about repatriation, revitalisation and ways of decolonising history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visualizing Arctic Voices is a collaboration between the Arctic Voices project, Riddu Ri\u0111\u0111u Festiv\u00e1la, the Centre for Northern Peoples and RiddoDuottarMuseat, as well as contributions from the Fridtjof Nansen Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition has received funding from the Research Council of Norway, the Nordic Culture Fund, Fritt Ord, NAPA - Nordic Institute in Greenland and the Equality and Diversity Committee at UiT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to a journey through images from the Arctic that tell forgotten and under-recognised stories to the audience! We hope the exhibition will contribute to good conversations about revitalisation, repatriation and ways to decolonise history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
