Art and Truth-Telling
What counts as truth? In what ways can art expand the language of truth and the process of truth-telling? Art and Truth-Telling marks the process of the Truth Commission for the Sámi people on the Swedish side of Sábmie. Through vuöllie [joik], duöjjie [Sámi crafts], drawing, installation, architecture and glasswork, the exhibition highlights the role of art in shaping personal and collective truths.
Art and Truth-Telling is the first chapter in a year-long collaboration between Bildmuseet and Gaaltije Saemien Museume, and takes its starting point in southern Sápmi. Ume Sámi, a critically endangered language from this region, is used in our translation.
