Family workshop The Saami

A journey to discover the Saami culture and its teachings. Permanent exhibition. Sunday, February 9th 2025, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Beyond the Arctic Circle, there lives a people, the Saami, whose survival depends on their close relationship with nature and animals. Their territory, Sápmi, formerly known as Lapland, stretches from Norway to the Kola Peninsula in Russia. During this workshop, we will explore the culture of this Indigenous people and create a painting and a drum as a tribute to their resilience in the face of climate change.

In collaboration with Maison Autochtone, an association that promotes Indigenous artists, knowledge, and respect for Indigenous Peoples.

Workshop led by Adriana Batalha, MEG educator, and Jo Morten Kaven, @jomokko19, Saami artist from Maison Autochtone.
