Here are some images from an exhibit by Fred Ivar Utsi Klemetsen that I recently saw here in Toronto:
Unfortunately, I missed the "Suddenly Sami" documentary but would loooove to see it!
Lastly, if and when I visit the Samis, I would like to present to them these dolls that I've made. ;)

ReplyDeleteif you decided to stop by Helsinki during your trip to Lapland, please give me a sign, whenever your trip will be! ;-)
Polly: If I ever visit Helsinki, you will be the 1st to know! :D I do really, really want to go to Helsinki and Lapland!!! :O
ReplyDeleteI discovered Erika Larsen’s compelling work once upon a time in the airport of La Paz, leafing through a Spanish issue of National Geographic while trying to recover my 10 lost rolls of film. She spent three years with the Sami, something that shows in her pictures. Have a look at the rest of her work too if you have time, there is a common thread that ties all of her projects together.
