WHEN? Wednesday 9th of Feb 18-19 EEST / 17-18 CEST
WHERE? online

The fourth session of In conversation with the Finnish institutes looks into inner community organizing and the ways in which minoritized communities create arts and culture for themselves. Our focus is on the Sámi communities and how they work for their own benefit: producing, creating and curating for their community. This is an episode of FUBU, for-us-by-us mentality, with arts and culture in the center. The guests for the episode are activist and community organiser Petra Laiti, funding advisor at Nordic Culture Point, and the Secretary of the Cultural Unit of Saami Council Unna-Maari Pulska. We will ponder on what and how the Sámi communities create culture and community for themselves.

They are joined by Iiris Tarvonen from the Finnish-Norwegian Cultural Institute. The discussion is moderated by Monica Gathuo.

This seminar is the fourth installment of a 6-part discussion series called “In Conversation with the Finnish Institutes” hosted by the Finnish Cultural and Academic Institutes (Benelux, Berlin, New York, Oslo, Paris, and the UK + Ireland). Each of the 6 discussions, which will take place online from October 2021 until March 2022, will focus on different subject matters from decolonisation to Sámi arts and culture.
