On 14 October 2020, from the Sámi Parliament in Kárášjohka in the Norwegian part of Sápmi, the Office for Contemporary Art Norway (OCA) announced that Sámi artists Pauliina Feodoroff, Máret Ánne Sara and Anders Sunna will represent Sápmi, their Sámi homeland, and transform the Nordic Pavilion into the Sámi Pavilion at the 59th Venice Art Biennale in 2022. This is a historic moment: the first time that Sámi artists are presented exclusively in a national pavilion at the Art Biennale, and the first time the Sámi are recognised as a nation in a pavilion bearing their name.

From January 1st to June 30th this year, Ina Hagen was the artist-in-residence at WIELS Contemporary Art Centre in Brussels. We had the pleasure of speaking with Ina about her time at WIELS and her residency experience. In this interview, she shares her thoughts on the journey, the impact of the residency on her work, and much more.
OCA runs a mailing lists to let interested parties know about our activities, including the artistic programme, grants schemes and international residencies, and publications.
