Interdisciplinary Workshops in Sápmi- Workshop 2

Workshop 2 :    Árviesjávrrie - in ancestral forests and mountains 

The workshop invites the participants to experience  Árviesjávrrie/Arvidsjaur indigenous Forest Sámi land, - listening, sensing, being in the summer with artist, reindeer herder and yoiker Jörgen Stenberg among others. We explore the question of forgotten ancestral knowledge, removed cultural heritage and erased collective memories among Forest Sámi, including discussions about forgetting in various colonial contexts.

This workshop combines critical, fictional, situated, performative and improvisatory techniques to feel and make space with others and reflects on the five domains identified by the UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage; oral traditions, performing arts, social practices, knowledge concerning nature and the universe, and traditional craftsmanship.
