Announcement of artists for the Nordic Pavilion at the Venice Biennale 2022

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.
