Lada Suomenrinne is a Sámi photographic artist. Starting from the stillness of archival images and the idea that photography “kills,” they examine the fictional history of Sámi photography and the role of the camera as a non-traditional tool in contemporary Sámi arts. At the center of their artistic practice are borderlands—their own backyard—and the visual articulation of the presence of non-human beings and ancestors.

Jenni Laiti is a Sámi artist, duojár (master of traditional Sámi crafts), and Indigenous rights activist. Love for their land and people, as well as justice for all creation, carry them forward. Laiti often collaborates with others and acknowledges that humans are nothing without their communities. For this exhibition, she collaborated with Invisible Flock and local Sámi communities affected by damming on the Deatnu River.
