The Exhibition Explores Sámi Perspectives

We Who Remain invites audiences to experience Sámi identity through the voices of the Sámi themselves. The works foreground the complexities of Sámi experience, showing how Sámi identity endures and flourishes despite external pressures.

"The works convey the sensitivity and emotional depth of Sámi life, while also revealing the forces that have hardened us and shaped us into survivors. For Sámi visitors, they reflect our community’s self-respect, joys, and sorrows. For Finnish audiences, they offer distinctly Sámi perspectives on Sámi life,” says curator Petra Laiti.
