Arjeplog

A Sami policy hub

2019

2019 marked the 100th anniversary of the Arjeplog Sami Association. To commemorate this, the Silvermuseet produced an exhibition highlighting the story of one of Arjeplog's pioneers in the Sami political movement.

I would like to see the digital version of the commemorative exhibition.

Viewing period: October 2019 - June 2020

Circle with year and text on a floor. The text reads, among other things, "1919. Arjeplogs Sameförening is formed with Edvard Johansson, Vuonatjviken, as chairman".
A timeline of important years in the history of the Sami Association was created on the floor
A tent hut pitched indoors. Around the hut are several birch trees like a small forest. Texts and wildlife are hanging from the birches. Some objects can be seen placed around the hut.
With the tent hut in the middle of a forest, the hub was symbolized. The trees around the hut were decorated with stories about people connected to the Sami community.
Four men and a woman are sitting around a table with some papers laid out. They look happy. One is writing on a piece of paper.
