The Sápmi region, which today spans four countries, existed long before the emergence of Nordic nation-states or national ideologies. The exhibition invites viewers to explore Sámi identity as expressed by the Sámi themselves. The exhibition highlights the complexities of Sámi experience, showing how Sámi identity endures and remains vibrant despite externally imposed pressures.

Curated by Saami Rights advocate, essayist and musician Petra Laiti, the exhibition features more than 20 artists and works created from the 1970s to the present day. The exhibition presents contemporary art by and about the Sámi community across the Sápmi territories of Finland, Sweden, and Norway.
