In the exhibition Johtingeaidnu – The Path Within, Finnish artist Emilia Tikka, Sámi reindeer herder Oula A. Valkeapää, and artist Leena Valkeapää explore the traditions of nomadic Sámi reindeer herding through films, drawings, and an installation. They show that this nomadic practice is threatened today and speculate about the future in the year 2102. How can memories of past lifestyles of humans and animals be revived in the distant future? What role do bioscientific methods play in this process, and how can they be reconciled with the traditional knowledge of the Sámi herders?
The exhibition opening will take place on April 10 at 6 p.m. at the Schering Stiftung.
